I would like to see a merger, yes, but I would not consider myself a
major NetBSD contributor...  Not yet, at least.

I think the best thing that can be done now is to get them closer.  I
don't think a merger will happen soon, but that doesn't mean we can't
take ideas and modifications from each other.

Perhaps a minority, but I would bet they are the ones who are strong
enough in the NetBSD side that it wouldn't happen without their
blessing.
