@be0ba @techokami @wyatt @nina_kali_nina @mirabilos i don't have authority to speak for a committee, i'm just a former board@ member, and afaik a formal proposal to change or clarify the policy has not been made to any of our committees. personally i'm busy putting out fires since we have an influx of users and there's tons of demands and questions on basic stuff like "how do i get wifi to work"
you can read what core is here, but it's effectively our technical cabal: https://www.netbsd.org/foundation/resolutions/20030923-core.txt

we rely on porting code from linux for our GPU drivers. we rely on third party code in base, e.g. postfix/unbound/bind/openssl/xorg. some of this is optional, not enabled by default, deprecated, some of this is more technically "optional" in that you can disable it.
we either remove it, update it and get slop, or ship vulnerable outdated code to users.
some people demand we do all of the above. it is a fucking difficult position.
