We have stopped supporting NetBSD in that there are no longer bulk
builds, and that progress that breaks NetBSD 6 is acceptable if
insisting on support hurts significantly.   We also feel free to close
PRs without fixes.

But we do not garbage-collect working accomodations, and we accept PRs
with fixes.
