Yes, TNF == The NetBSD Foundation. I'm not on the board and can't really speak for TNF, but from helping with pkgsrc and talking about bulk build setups, I know that hardware is one thing, and a place to put it, power, network, remote hands, and admin resources is much more. You might ask he@ who is doing powerpc builds if they could use more, but I would guess that's really not the limit. There is always a call for money which is used to pay people sometimes, and to buy hardware. (I don't know where it came from, but the x86_64/i386 bulk build setup is recently massively improved with new hardware, but it took a lot of work by many people to get it all done.) It is very useful if you figure out what's wrong and fix it and send patches. For that, it's best if you update to 10.
