Hi Ahmed, I think the issue you raised is valid; they have an enormous number of developers because the project was promoted very strongly starting in 2016 when it became part of the Linux Foundation.
However, having fewer people doesn't mean we should take the easy way out and end-up in the same quality situation they are currently facing. In fact it is better to have less supported hardware, but a few very well supported ones. So, I was trying to accept the idea that the HAL was good for NuttX, but after reading that thread, I think it will be the opposite. Vendors will add integrations with poor HAL quality and we will inherit responsibility for that bad code.
