"will" ??? I doubt it.
The ATT and BSD universes reminds me of Pyramid systems from 1991.
What's wrong with that? The first UNIX I used was Dynix, it had universes
(this was right after Sequent switched from BSD to AT&T), and I always
found the concept to be a simple and elegant way to give users the
environment they preferred without forcing one group's preferences
on the other group. Isn't that basically what we're after here too?
