Last I heard ePBF is basically stalled due to Spectre. They aren't planning to expand it. Interesting to see NetBSD doing that.

eBPF is being eagerly and actively expanded; just look at [1]. What's stalled is unprivileged eBPF, i.e. using it without being root.

Ah yes, I meant unprivileged eBPF. Although your link doesn't really support your statement given the only review comment!
