	I'm sure that they're using the NetBSD code relatively unchanged.

	I know he's mentioned this point several times on the FreeBSD 
mailing lists that I've seen, but I don't see any mention of it on 
his web site.  I'll have to send him a note and ask him if he gave 
his approval to the method that NetBSD & OpenBSD have taken towards 
implementing softupdates, and if he has specified anywhere what his 
preference is.
