Every project is AI free, until it's not.

NetBSD will soon realize there's very limited value, to put it nicely, in shipping code full of bugs that an LLM would quickly find.

Either that, or a fork that anybody sensible within NetBSD will embrace.

Haiku OS is similarly hard-line about this, and is also starting from the point of an extremely clean codebase.

Neat stuff, though I can't say AI policy is the biggest priority when I choose projects to use, plenty of projects are using it in a measured and sane way without needing a complete prohibition.

This is a project that insists on using CVS so yeah, it's not surprising that they do not try the most modern development techniques
