That disturbs me. NetBSD puts lots of effort to avoid regressions and
keep -current in a working state, reasonably. The kernel provides binary
compat modes for versions that are 10 years older or more. Running
current also helps testing.

While I can understand that some cannot afford to run -current for
whatever reason, don't expect the situation to improve by itself without
some of your help. This is a volunteer driven project.
