Visisbility define use is a nice theory but in practice it's a mess. Probably, before hiding, someone(tm) should build a system with them hidden and do a bulk build. More seriously, NetBSD having breaking changes generally does not go well, unless Linux has had the change for a year, so that upstreams have had time to adapt.
