     Could you imagine an Ubuntu user having to jump through hoops to
get yum and apt (or whatever they use)?  Wouldn't happen!  Similarly,
pkgsrc IS NetBSD's packaging system and as such it MUST be a first
class citizen on a NetBSD system.  Making a NetBSD user jump through
ANY kind of hoop in order to use NetBSD's packaging system is a
non-starter.  The fact that pkgsrc can be used on other systems is not
relevant to this.
