kernel+userland will become c99?

[Mayuresh Kathe <mayuresh%kathe.in@localhost>]

hello,

i read that all new code in the netbsd tree "has" to be c99.

is that really a mandatory condition?
if yes, would that mean, over a period of time, all of the
netbsd userland would be converted to c99?

and would the kernel be brought up to that same standard?
if yes, wouldn't it be quite a painful task?
