 * (Many (most?) businesses run COBOL applications.
 * Should we therefore require that NetBSD come with a COBOL compiler?)

I thought COBOL was interpreted and batch-run...?

No, NetBSD should probably not "come with" a COBOL compiler any more than
we should ship a f77 or fortran or ratfor compiler with it.  I'm sure
that, should the demand arise, someone out there will come up with one
for free.

It happened for C/C++ because the demand was there.  gcc and g++ aren't
the greatest, but they're there and they seem to work, inasmuch as they
generate code which tricks the kernel into thinking it's loadable :-).
