The entire source and ports tree is in freeze and testing at
the moment for 2.8, so this wont happen until after that release.

Even then, NetBSD has a libedit in its tree which provides a 
GNU readline compatible interface (along with more).  If it's 
decent, then that could be a better target than GNU readline,
and remove the duplication (we have both in our tree atm, and
the readline is ancient).
