I agree with this sentiment.  Since I don't run BSD systems, I am relying on 
the BSD community to notice these bugs and report them, so I can add them to 
the style guide and avoid doing them myself in the future.

If someone knew of a recipe to set up a NetBSD or OpenBSD virtual machine 
under Xen or similar, I'd be happy to set that up on my machines and use 
their base system image for build testing.
