These are all drop-in replacement kernels for mach_kernel, run by hackintoshers, that accept patches from contributors It sounds like none of these modifications are sent back to Apple. Its great that they can fork projects - that much, anyone can do. The original claim was that osx86 hackers had contributed code to Apple, that was now in Darwin and is used in shipping OS's. Thats far more interesting then any modification that's made on a fork. And of the two kext's you linked to, they both look to be dead in development, with more then a few major bugs each. Thats more of a hinderance than a help for your argument, really.

I have yet to experience a single bug on my hardware. For bleeding-edge chipsets, YMMV. As for speed of development, I generally install drivers (as opposed to userland software) once and forget about it unless there's a problem. Given that I have no problems, I'm quite satisfied.
