Note that for most of the more esoteric platforms NetBSD supports, “support” simply means they continue to cross-compile to target that platform. There’s been lots of cases where there’s some major regression that makes a port unusable (can’t boot, can’t interact with the system, etc) and nobody notices for years because there’s both nobody testing these ports and nobody actually using them. At that point, the value of the support is questionable.
