From one of the former founders of NetBSD...

abstract:
The NetBSD Project has stagnated to the point of irrelevance. It has
gotten to the point that being associated with the project is often
more of a liability than an asset. I will attempt to explain how this
happened, what the current state of affairs is, and what needs to be
done to attempt to fix the situation.
Heh. Out of all the BSDs I've installed, NetBSD has been the only one that has failed to install successfully. I always thought of it as the shitty BSD. Yet, somewhere, I thought that FreeBSD/OpenBSD came out of NetBSD, so I thought NetBSD had something going for it...
