I don't consider it a standard either.  Nor do most universities
and research institutions.

SYS V lacks too many useful features that 4.x supports as standard.
"Enhanced" versions are only slightly better.  It qualifies more as
"ad hoc" than 4.xBSD, especially since they've had so many years to
study and learn from a good example.  AT&T can start by supporting
control-Z and signal(SIGSTOP... and signal(SIGCONT..., which are much
more useful to me for development than shared memory.
