While I'll be the first to admit that NetBSD is not my OS of
choice (I started with FreeBSD, switched to NetBSD under the
mistaken impression that their people were more technically
competent than FreeBSD's, then switched back when I finally did a
head to head comparison), you have accomplished nothing but
slandering a bunch of folks _WITH NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER_.

I don't believe you when you have said that you have fixed a
couple of bugs.  Yes, I say it: post the bugs and the fixes or
stand condemned as a liar.

Put up or shut up.
