I'm not sure it doesn't make "any" difference. It certainly makes no
difference that you care about.

It could, if you wrote the code to do that.

People often ask "why doesn't NetBSD do X", and the answer is usually
"because no one has done that yet, fix it if you like."

NetBSD isn't some mysterious set of full time people working at a
secret lab. NetBSD is *you*, and everyone else who uses it and sends
in patches. If something is not done, it is usually because no one
like you has done it yet. If something bothers you, write code to fix
it and send it in. That's how things get improved. Every fix you see
in NetBSD is the result of someone who didn't like something and
contributed a change.
