Can you demonstrate that BSD 2 is cross-buildable from any recent NetBSD release? It would strongly surprise me given that parts of K&R C are not supported by the compilers in base and at least 64bit platforms are going to violently object to a lot of other abuse in the code.

It costs disk space and build time. Both might be minimal, but for something without positive value, it matters. I seriously don't get the attachment to useless junk. It's not like we are removing the history of src/usr.bin/mkstr. If someone actually has a use case, it's not hard to get a copy and package it independently. But that minority can pay the price. Joerg
