Maybe a script distributed with NetBSD could automagically detect a new
kernel at boot (/kern/version?) and after (say) 10 minutes, issue a wall
that suggests the user runs 'netbsd-sendexp' (send experience) which 
gives a sendbug-like template for logging the experience with the kernel
and sending it off to a magical mail to database to web gateway 

volunteers? :)

(this should go to the macbsd web mailing list whose address i've forgotten)
