I'm not a NetBSD person (though I did work for a NetBSD-dependent company for a while)... This seems like a smart, pragmatic decision: create a system where modern hardware can be prioritized more, while creating a system where extremely legacy hardware is not hampering kernel and ports decisions. Not to mention the development and testing effort involved in supporting them all. That said, anyone who values the support of those systems can put some effort in: "In no way does this mean that NetBSD is abandoning support for old hardware. Support for ports such as vax, mac68k and pmax is still more than welcome. However, users of such ports are asked to take a more active role in development, maintenance and feedback for the platforms they know and love."
