I suggest you reexamine your own articles on the nature of you porting
process; since neither the NetBSD or FreeBSD groups has yet made the
BSD4.4-Lite derived source trees they have available (and have only
announced plans to do this at the end of July), I can only go by what
each group has claimed (much in the same way I can only judge 386BSD
1.0 by the rantings posted by various people claiming to have seen it).

Hi Terry,
You are misinformed. NetBSD has made it's integration of BSD 4.4-Lite
available since day one. There is no seperate 4.4 Lite branch of
NetBSD. As soon as we started to incorporate 4.4 Lite, those sources
were available to the public through NetBSD-current which is
retrievable via daily sup, weekly source snapshots, and occasional
binary snapshots. Through this mechanism we were able to have the
integration of 4.4 Lite subsystems tested incrementally.
As of Usenix, the 4.4 Lite kernel integration was complete. Diffs of
4.4 Lite vs our code show only local changes.
later,
Adam Glass
