That I'm fully aware of. Anyway some of us want to have (from
curiosity?) latest system on their rigs and do not have resources to
play with compilations.

Can't believe my ears. ;-) I wish the big loudspeakers could help...
You bet I'm not alone. I suggest to select a group of most popular
applications like OpenOffice.org which I'd like to run without
Linux emulation, Opera, Firefox, Sylpheed, ImageMagick, gv, xpdf (add
here from your side) and make their binaries available for the -current
NetBSD.

If it is not a joke I'm _all for it_.
