That statement, while technically true, is completely misleading.  Prior to 
the Foundation takeover, NetBSD developers were *not* "members" of the 
Foundation, and had no legal standing to make such a decision.  The actual 
change of the bylaws and board of directors was fraudulent.

There was no excuse for this.  It could have been done right.
