No, Timo, it's not being ignored.
not any longer, yes, as there come replies that back my opinion that
blobs are evil and do not comply with NetBSDs (former?) 'portability and
clean architecture listed as its goals' (quote).
but you do behave as if you as an individuum represent not only NetBSDs
core teams' opinion(s), but that of the whole developer community, and
claim your 'if my gaming station which runs Linux can take blobs without
exploding, NetBSD can do this, too'.
You just cannot accept the answer
is something different to what you want.
you certainly have not the smallest idea of 'what i want'. i am just
pointing to the above statement ('portability and clean architecture
listed as its goals', to remind you).
you are very presumptuous.
You'll probably be happier here.
as i told you, the company i work for and i myself used to run all
'three major BSDs' *as well as* a bunch of proprietary Unices on
professional hardware (read: non-PeeCee hardware; yes, even if you don't
know of such, it still exists).
the obvious death of NetBSD and the screaming of its degenerated
developers as soon as one reminds them of their 'project goals' show the
way to go: drop it.
please stop this thread. you're like a whining child that didn't win a
discussion because it has had only false and rotten arguments and now
complains it lost.
there is black and white. you can promote open source and demand open
documentation, or even open hardware (which would be best; projects of
this character do exist).
or you can start accepting blobs, closed this and that, and finally sell
you soul. it's up to you and i couldn't mind less about it. but the
question then is why did NetBSD ever exist? you can promote Linux or
even Windows with your opinion.
