I think it just makes it look different.

Is the objection against any borders for any tables in the first place, or 
specifically against the border around each td element (e.g., against two 
1px lines separated by a bit of whitespace around each cell)?

I think tables without borders just look wrong, although in the specific 
example you mention the table is not generated correctly, because the "CVS 
tag" doesn't actually span all the rows that it refers to, resulting in many 
empty cells, so, it's certainly not the best application of the border.
Do you know where the code for this script is, perhaps we could fix the 
script to generate the table correctly?

<maya> pointed out this also breaks mail-index, as it's still using the 
table element to mimick column-based non-table data.

How about trying the borders on all pages that have been converted to the 
new design, so it doesn't apply to mail-index.NetBSD.org?  
(With or without a border-collapse that avoids 
having duplicate borders between each cell?)

The following code would apply to content on 
wiki.NetBSD.org, www.NetBSD.org and http://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/builds.cgi, 
but not on mail-index.NetBSD.org.  It results in a 3px border between header cells, 
and a single 1px border total between all other cells.

#content th {
	border: 3px solid #eee;
}
#content td {
	border: 1px solid #ddd;
}
#content table {
	border-collapse: collapse;
}
