Yeah, it became a big issue various places.  Rather than drag it out
again, though, I'd recommend people read what was said then, in the
archives; resaying the same things isn't likely to help anything.

Me, I just stopped updating at 1.4T (a 2000-02-19 source tree).  I'm
still on the lists in part because NetBSD hasn't yet drifted so far
that they're useless to me and in part because I still use NetBSD at
work.  I'll probably leave entirely in a while (FSVO "a while"; it's
been ten months so far) if the direction change doesn't get reversed.
