To BNU or not to BNU

Rick Adams has stated he intends to put all useful BNU features into
BSD uucp. It won't happen tomorrow, tho. :-) As Rick and Carl do
lots of cooperating, I'm sure any good features Rick does will show
up in Pyramid the following morning.
Pyramid's UUCP is a real winner. I considered going to HoneyDanBer for
Mirror Systems because of HDB's features, but came up with these
arguments against them:
I had little enough traffic that I didn't need the per-host
C./D./D.X directories.
I didn't need the snazzy security because I only allowed
three commands (mail, rnews, copy) with hosts I trusted.
(Oh yeah, we changed our phone numbers often, too :-)
I got real good support from pyramid!csg; Err, I mean
from Pyramid Corp. BNU is "good luck, sucker."
BNU is real sharp, and if you're gonna poke at source it's real
nice: you don't need Maalox like you do for other UUCP's.
Hope you find this helpful.
