They actually put the '#!' magic number in the kernel, so that I can create
exec'able shell (and awk, and perl, and ...) scripts? That'd be a good
thing.

   5. BSD has no init/inittab

There's certainly an init on BSD Unix. Been there since before they
added vm to the unix. That there's no inittab is a feature.

   6. BSD (usually) has no HoneyDanBer UUCP

Easily fixed.
