NetBSD : Interviews : How NetBSD 1.5 was born

"NetBSD's biggest release impediment is also its most important feature: we released 1.5 on 10 base CPU types comprising 20 groups of hardware architectures. Taking in to account I/O buses, MMUs, and system controllers that another OS would consider to be different platforms, the actual number of specific hardware platforms is somewhere closer to 40 ... NetBSD runs on more hardware platforms than any other full-featured OS in history."

This is definitely an active project. New work is being done all the time
