re: Website and library packages



   
   utilities and libraries NEED to be built together with the kernel. It's a
   feature in the BSD world. It'd be easer to keep them in sync if they're built


hmm, i wouldn't call it a feature :-)  certainly in NetBSD we've done a
lot of work to remove these sorts of issues... and the trend is only
going to continue in the future.  cf, ps(1) and most of the *stat utilties
now no longer require the same-vintage kernel.  there are still a lot
remaining, and things like "ipfilter" will never be do-able otherwise,
given the current way ipfilter is modified :-)
