I don't think there is any real advantage to removing the file, breaking existing software that #includes it, for no particular reason other than some idea of cleanliness. It just makes it harder and harder for software to support NetBSD (not that there is a lot of software including <sys/user.h> as far as I know).
Make the include file empty, sure. But removing it breaks 3rd party software needlessly, and perhaps not commensurate with our market share. --jhawk Kamil Rytarowski <n...@gmx.com> wrote on Sat, 10 Jun 2017 at 14:27:19 +0200 in <2cf99ff1-ad04-74b6-7328-0cd445e35...@gmx.com>: > I propose to drop <sys/user.h> in the early phase of 8.99.x.
