Not specific to NetBSD. Just some platforms are not tested on commits and
others have to go back and re-add removed support. (I submitted bug
reports when I notice, but it seems like they are ignored.) For example
with the "input-hotplug" addition/changes, it took a week for parts of it
to be fixed on FreeBSD and six months for OpenBSD.
Now looking through git commit logs, I see now at least three NetBSD
developers. So that is good. (There is also at least one OpenBSD and one
FreeBSD developer also.)
