NetBSD's "src" repository is the oldest continuously-developed version control repository on the internet (since march 1993), and there's a lot of legacy there that makes switching to anything else hard. Any way we go, we'll likely be keeping the monorepo-with-separate-build-machinery model. The difference in the way we do things from the modern consensus is why I suggested handing the code over to freedesktop. ;)
