The attached patch we have in NetBSD's pkgsrc and disables 
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED for NetBSD 1.5*, 1.6, 1.6.* and 
NetBSD(-current) NetBSD 1.6[A-S]. This are the versions prior 
_NETBSD_SOURCE. And without this change non-POSIX functions 
like eg. os.setgroups are unavailable.

Doesn't 1.6.* talk about future versions? It should not do
that, instead, it should explicitly list all versions to
which the patch applies.

Indeed, tt does talk about future versions, but only of the
maintenance branch. No interface changes will haben there.
(Especially not wrt POSIX).  These will happen with NetBSD
2.0 and are in NetBSD-current (1.6[A-Z]*) right now.
(So, actually 1.6A is "newer" than 1.6.*)
