Well, Usenix's business may be Unix (or maybe "Unix-like operating
systems" or some other mumble), but I fail to see that the organization
has any kind of license or mandate to operate irresponsibly or without
sensitivity to the issues.  Besides, it is my understanding that the
South Africa issue is being thrust upon Usenix, not the other way
around.  Too bad Peter wasn't clearer.
