Your information is not entirely correct. If I were 100% anti-BSD
you can bet I would not be running 4.nBSD on my systems. At the
P1003 meeting (singular) that I have attended so far, I was one of
the few people who were being particularly careful that the draft
POSE standard be phrased so that 4BSD-based kernels could meet the
specifications without doing violence to cherished improvements
such as reliable signals, sockets, etc. I am also clearly not 100%
pro-System V, as those who have read my comments when I post bug
reports know. I am one of a small number of people in a position
to evaluate both UNIX variants from both a technical and a marketing
viewpoint, and I call `em like I see `em. Sorry you don't like that.
