It seems that
you could take a fork of NetBSD 1.x and have something useful
to build on.
That sounds quite reasonable, but you are then working with an old
system. What I really dream of is a system which is kept current,
updated but not bloated. I mean, I don't want great, fancy features
but a system which is not 5 or more years old, but current.
What you want is a mini-kernel and userland. I fear very few modern distros
or even OSes will fit that bill.
