I don't believe that is the problem. Marcus was doing 98% of the work. He
apparently lost interest and now 2% of the work is being done. Also,
wasn't Marcus the only member with write access to the NetBSD archives?
Also, the shortage of BBAs in the world is not helping.

I believe the obstacles are so large and so many that no one has the
gung-ho, so to speak, to take a shot at them. Also, I don't beleieve there
is enough teamwork. This is not entirely our fault. The majority of
reverse engineering is a one man job.
