Most people want SVR4 today for one of the following reasons:

	1. to always have the latest and greatest OS
	2. to develop/test application software for the product
	3. to get major portions of the BSD look and feel

I'd bet that many of the people that read/contribute to this group have
been working with 386 unix products for at least 2 or 3 years (back in
the days of SVR3.0).  They were pioneers then, they will be pioneers yet
again.

If you are talking about a production system, I would agree.  In fact, we 
went out an bought an extra machine to load/test/play with SVR4.
