I personally think that compatibility with the rest of the world is more
important that clarity for the sake of academia.  I've been out of school
for some years now.  I got interested in Minix because it seems to be a
cheap, minimalist way to get into Unix, and I'm quite sure there are lots
of people out here using it for the same reason.

Perhaps if Dr. Tanenbaum surveys the Unix world, he'll get a better idea
of which size to use and why.
