I for one believe that NetBSD can stand on its own merits. It is good
to have independent benchmarks, both for advocacy, and for identifying
where bottlenecks are. But, in my humble opinion the general tone should
not be ``NetBSD can do this better than XYZ'', but ``NetBSD can do A,
B, and C''. I firmly believe our target market is rational enough to
do their own evaluation*.
