That's what I meant.  NetBSD has the cleanest codebase overall of all OS
projects that I've ever seen, and that includes all the *BSDs so far, as
well as some GNU/Linux code, and even some proprietary code and quite a
bit of formerly proprietary code.  Even OpenBSD has, IMNSHO, fallen way
behind NetBSD in code clarity and consistency.

Mind you I've only used (as a developer) NetBSD for over a decade now.  :-)
