I do!  I am not aware of any user-visible differences in /bin/sh between
V7 and 4.3BSD, nor have I changed anything between 4.3BSD and
4.3BSD-Quasijarus.

I do very much care about free & open source EDA, but gEDA's heavy slant
toward too-modern-for-me computing environments has prompted me to write
uEDA as a replacement.  (As 'g' in gEDA stands for GNU, the 'u' in uEDA
stands for UNIX!)

So in your mind V9 on a real PDP-11 "counts" but 4.3BSD-Quasijarus on a
real VAX doesn't?  Why?
