4.4BSD almost certainly had some history. All the current BSDs have a HISTORY section for
many of their pages. And we are busy borrowing each other's primary research for
them... though it a man page, not a treatis on the evolution of signals since V7. Nor do
the vast majority of command line flags have mention. Those that do are either 4BSD vs
System V or XXXBSD vs Linux (and maybe a few FooBSD vs BarBSD, but those are rare).
My recollection is that the HISTORY stuff started showing up in BSD
man pages around the time of Net/2?
