Yeah, but that relies on a kernel-feature(of NetBSD).

Doesn't come over with a port of just some userland(utilities).

But why? Because he can?

Because LLMs can. The first meaningful commit has 5,658 files changed +1255204 -0 lines changed

Which commit are you referring to? The large commit you mentioned is actually the third one. It looks big because that's when I imported the NetBSD userland code (cp, ksh, etc.) along with the Makefiles. Before that, the repository only contained README.md and LICENSE files. That’s probably why it shows such a massive change.

better license and polish. remember: BSD is kernel with whole system. unlike Linukernel and random atuff
