The fact that it's different _at all_ is, quite frankly, totally ridiculous.

It's so ridiculous, in fact, that I personally have very little, if any,
motivation to attempt to share code with FreeBSD.  I mean, if they're going
to adopt an interface invented by NetBSD, and then gratuitously change it
(partially out of lack of understanding for some of the issues involved),
then I have to ask myself "why bother?"
