my SGI Indy, 486dx pc, Motorola Starmax, iBook G3 Clamshell, and iMac G3 all run NetBSD and have no hardware accelerated AES.

I know active NetBSD developers who have no computers newer than about 2007, and have a core duo machine as their "build server".

Software AES is the only option for tons of folks who run NetBSD. Many of these folks run hardware on which their only real option is NetBSD - for them, and me, these platforms aren't legacy. They're just our computers.
