The problem is that those of "us" that possess the skills to provide a 
solution are either not interested because it's not what they require, other 
issues have higher priority or simply don't have the time to fix it. But it 
is unreasonable to assume that those that experience difficulties, discovered 
a bug or simply need extended functionalities have the skills to provide 
their own solutions.

I have a whole list of things that either don't work,  are out of spec or 
missing features all that are kernel related and not being a kernel hacker 
are currently out of my scope of expertise.

Hence, I'm patiently waiting for "them" to come up with the goods eventually 
meanwhile I switch to other operating system to enable me to take full 
advantage of some applications.

E.g.,  GNU Radio USRP doesn't perform on NetBSD due to current design 
limitations of the ugen device unable to provide the required data bandwidth 
of 32MByte/s. I have to run GNU Radio on Linux everytime I want to experience 
the awesome power of digitial signal processing until "they" fixed it on 
NetBSD.

My 2 cents worth from a endusers point of view
