Which bringing this back to UNIX. Linux is the UNIX disruptor - which is
great. Linux keeps 'UNIX' alive and getting better. I don't see an
economic reason to replace it, but who knows. Maybe that's what the new

far, the economics is not there.
Speaking of how ancient code works... There's still AT&T code dating to v5
or older in *BSD.... It's been updated, improved upon, parts replaced, etc.
But there's still some bits dating all the way back to those early times.
Having competition from Linux is great and keeps the BSDs honest...
