Hmm, not sure if this is necessary, because as you said RiscBSD is more than
what would normally be put on the netbsd sites.
It should however be stressed more clearly how RiscBSD is available. There
should at least be a link from the list of supported architectures on www.
netbsd.org to the RiscBSD WWW pages. Alternatively we might put together some
pages to be put on www.netbsd.org.

Oh no, please don't. It's much too slow, it's often even difficult to get a
connection at all. Mirrors may be several days behind.

I think it's common understanding that RiscBSD is NetBSD/arm32 plus additions
like X11 and binary packages.
