  Really old and still buggy?

  Seriously, any new release will have a few warts, what's new about
that? Having seen 4.2, Ultrix3.0, and V.3 come out I would say that
there is not much to choose. My personal experience was that the bugs in
V.3 didn't crash the system or corrupt the files in most cases, and that
there were more avoidable bugs. I think that the testing of this will be
*very* carefully done, since this is AT&T/Sun's flagship against OSF.

  Please let's not discuss AT&T vs. OSF again, just making the point
that there is an incentive to get this one really right.
