Which means the ``cannot'' should probably be ``will not''.  I could
comment about standing up to a bully, but it isn't my cross to bear and
CMU has to do what they feel is best for them.  Sigh.

P.S.  Rumor has it that tar snapshots of BSDSS/BNR2 (from just before it
was jerked) can be had from various places for the asking.  Of course that
is just a rumor---I wouldn't want to be accused of sanctioning the
trafficing of this allegedly contraband code.  AT&T's ``beady eyed toon 
shysters'' might get it into their miniature brains to come after me.
