I think this is the major argument. If we take a Debian NetBSD base system
and compare it to a Debian GNU/Linux base system, what is the difference
in distribution of code between the two? I'd imagine that the loss of
glibc does tilt things more towards NetBSD than would otherwise be the
case, but what proportion of GNU code are we replacing with BSD code and
does that reduce the amount of GNU code present to the point that it
should be considered a major constituent rather than the major
constituent?
(ignore the kernel here, obviously)
