If you don't want to read this is a brief summary
- 2005 Google acquired Android Inc. dashing hopes that technically superior NetBSD will be used as a base for its OS.
- 2006 Charles Hannum one of the original founders expresses his concerns about the future of NetBSD
- 2009 Wasabi Systems Inc. (heavy NetBSD user/sponsor) is out of business
- 2013 Julio Merino one of NetBSD Board of Directors gives up

- In fiscal year 2014 project has raised only 25K but even more disturbingly they spent little less than 30K. That is about the electric bill of DragonFly BSD let alone bigger BSD projects.
- 2015 in an e-mail exchange concerning removal of GNU Troff aka. Groff from the base of NetBSD Ingo Schwarze maintainer of mdoc and OpenBSD developer reviled that NetBSD man pages have not being updated since 2009.
- 2015 NetBSD 7.0 has being released almost 3 years after the release of NetBSD of 6.0. The major "achievement" of the long awaited release is that NetBSD now runs on Raspberry Pi.
Let me repeat my statement. The lack of the audio server is the least of NetBSD problems. The whole project is on the life support.
