Good point.  Although NetBSD struggles to be compatible with my hardware, and I 
wouldn't expect to build a really productive system as I might with FreeBSD or 
Linux, I see enough changes that I never said NetBSD was stagnant.

I see possibly useful source code in NetBSD, and OpenBSD too, such as athn(4) 
and re(4) drivers, with a view to porting to FreeBSD.

Even though OpenBSD is incompatible with my hardware for lack of GPT and USB 
3.0 support, I could download the current src tree to compare to FreeBSD and 
NetBSD, even if I don't have the platform to compile it and don't want to do 
all the heavy work on USB sticks.

FreeBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have re(4) driver, but they don't connect 
with the Ethernet on MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard, while NetBSD and Linux are 
successful.
