From an file George Rosamond sent me in 2009:

I also collected some more sources:

MERT absolutely predates PWB 1.2. MERT has papers starting in 1975 while
pwb 1.2 is 1978 or 1979. By the time pwb 1.2 was coming out, it had
mutated to UNIX/RT... MERT was V4 while releases of PWB were V6 based. And
the link for the graph (which are often horribly sourced for the early
stuff) is dead.
