ZFS/DTrace is, at some level, abstracted by the wrappers to our NetBSD
interfaces.  There are certain heavy changes, which in any case require
maintenance.  However, there is a difference between maintaining certain
set of functions and core changes, and a ton of style, whitespace, etc
changes all over the place.  Do not you agree?

That seems like an argument based on a rumour. :)
