Maybe it's because they (esp. Linux) have more users which somply concentrate
on one platform, and therefore don't have to think about as much things as "the
NetBSD folx" have to?

Are we (...) Microsoft to let people do the beta-testing???

For people interrested in testing out things, they can still contact the autor
if the ting is half-stable so they can beta-test it on their own machines not
annoying anyone who doesn't want the particular feature. I see this working on
the amiga quite fine, and only things that are 99% (100%?) stable get into
-current.
