Hmm.

To me, the advantages of BSD are in the userlands, not so much in the
kernel: Linux userlands (whatever they may be) are, on the whole, a
meddled mess. The NetBSD one is concise; if anything I'd want to do the
opposite of what you suggest, though to be honest I don't see the point
in doing either.
