Why? :-) I believe the big reason for them having COMPAT_FREEBSD to run our packages, which is a perfectly reasonable thing. From the opposite point of view, I can't think of *any* applications (save AFS, which isn't even an app) that run only on NetBSD and aren't available in FreeBSD versions. Not arrogance, just a simple statement of fact.
