Sebastien, Please respect them, they are contributing day by day to the project!
NuttX continues as open-source and those people who care are still contributing. We need more people to contribute to the project, Crazy people that "criticize and sleep" we already have enough! Actually there are many features that we need to bring from their code base to the mainline, such as PTP to time precision, etc. Their repositories at https://github.com/open-vela are open-source, anyone here can help brings features back to our mainline!
