Not quite true....
NetBSD's goal IS to run on everything, that is true. However, FreeBSD is not
limited to x86 systems. There is something to be said for not just trying to
run on everything under the sun - and that directly translates into
stability of the OS.

I seem to remember the difference between NetBSD and FreeBSD
was NetBSD's goal was to run on anything, while FreeBSD's goal
was to run on x86 systems. Has that changed?

OpenBSD sucks in that it doesn't
support
multiprocessor systems!
That's why you go with NetBSD.
