+ NetBSD? Ummmm. I guess you can install it on some 1990s RISC hardware and brag to slashdot about it? (Except you have to go back to your x86 to run a browser.)
Seriously, after 25 years in the business I've never seen or heard about anyone using NetBSD in product

Apple makes networking equipment? That runs NetBSD?
