NetBSD's "Commit Guidelines" say that LLM code is "presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core."
This doesn't feel very clear about how much LLM code there is and will be in NetBSD.
@jmts the policy could be a bit stronger, but it's pretty hard to imagine LLM code getting into NetBSD without a loud debate and possible fork. And if the project did fork, the strict non-LLM side would probably be the original upstream, leaving the botlickers to fizzle out in a fork nobody asked for.
Yes, that probably sounds like a lot of good faith, but there's context - they had a record funding year due to the anti-LLM stance in a sea of slop. They know their differentiating factors.
