They threw away what wouldn't fit. Then they added features, but
piece by piece, and only as they observed a need.
This cycle has started again with Plan 9, which borrows heavily from
Unix -- almost everything lives in the filesystem -- but which is in
fact a brand new start.
Unix owes much to Multics, and we can learn from it, but we needn't be
driven by it.
