Those are bad analogies. If you really want an analogy, the correct
one would be that we adopt USB support that works on i386 and Alpha
USB hardware, but which (due to design mistakes) simply will not work
on sparc or macppc without inordinate amounts of porting and support.

Do you think NetBSD should do that? If not, why not? 
Why is CVSup any different?

You're not hearing one side of the argument.

Not at all (can I guess you run ports which does run CVSup?)
but I'll concede the *argument* itself is silly :)
