The separation is a good idea.  The sysv is not needed since the merge
is toward one base UNIX flavor.  I doubt there will ever be an Intel BSD
port, and who would want to refragment the world just as we finally get
some peace?

Moderation? Don't drag that up.  Let's get the groups.  If someone
volunteers to moderate later, well, then we can start the to
moderate or not wars again.
