NetBSD kernel code is not simpler compared to FreeBSD/OpenBSD kernel code. On average, it's probably the same. I can definitely think of some things for which it is more complex.

How do you write this in a comment and then click submit? Why would you not include at least one example?

I guess it should be largely the same since OpenBSD originally forked from NetBSD...

A very long time ago and much has changed for both.

It dumbed down the malloc() interface, for example (no tags).
