Interesting it's 10 years.  Agreed most machines in use are UEFI
capable.

Still, I would expect that NetBSD people having a pre-2015 machine in
use is not odd.  I have 3 (including a PC Engines apu2 that are probably
newer than 2015 but can't run windows since serial console anyway, and
sold to people who wouldn't want to).
