Same here. I've often thought about forking NetBSD around 1.6 or so,

The bloat has even gotten so bad that one of the early NetBSD core
developers, who was gainfully employed generating embedded versions of
NetBSD for consumer digital cameras and stuff for many years, dumped
NetBSD for Linux for those types of applications. Scary. (that's
second-hand info, but reliable)

I don't
even want to think how it'll run on my 68k boxes.
I have been unhappy with the amount of bloat creeping into recent NetBSD
versions. For my internal systems where security is less of a concern, I
keep them on 1.x. My IIci running 1.5.2 has uptime measured in years.
