I'm curious here, but why did the *kernel* diverge for each project? 
Like, I understand (or think I do) the philosophy of the OpenBSD project, 
and that is high security ... but, wouldn't the security improvements that 
go into the OpenBSD kernel not be applicable to NetBSD / FreeBSD?  At this 
point, I couldn't imagine merging, but when OpenBSD first branched off, 
one would think it would have been fairly easy to keep the *kernel* itself 
relatively in sync, no?  Especially the code audit that I imagine went 
into securing the OpenBSD kernel itself ...
