This is not a channel for official responses from Apple. You'll have
to contact them directly if you want an answer from Apple.
After reading your message I tried this a couple of days ago. The
response was that ADC doesn't do Darwin and that these lists are the
proper forum which is exactly as I assumed. After replying and
pointing out that I'd already tried these lists, I got the same
response again.
This is just a mailing list, just like darwin-kernel. The mailing
list happens to be sponsored on Apple machines, but that's the extent
of their involvement, officially.
ADC seems to think that Apple employees are working in an official
capacity on these lists.
Write to the developer group, or the legal department. www.apple.com
has the addresses.
Perhaps the legal department is a better option then? Maybe they have
the opposite opinion I do and the binary license from the prior Darwin
binary releases still applies to the new kernel extensions found only
as part of OS X releases.
Failing that, it's theoretically possible although a bit tedious to
rework the vtables on the older versions to be ABI compatible with
modern xnu but I'd rather not have to do this. And you know that
Murphy's law says that as soon as I spend the time to do that, someone
at Apple will finally respond and release the updated binaries.
