Yes, that's exactly what I meant.  Are there any plans on upgrading the linux 
base to that of Suse/Redhat 7.x?  Some of the new programs designed to run on 
Linux requires the library and internals of the 2.4x architecture but the 
current linux-base on NetBSD pkg system is based on 2.2x linux kernel 
architecture (libraries etc...).
