     I agree in principle, but the name should be comp.unix.osf.  OSF/1
is supposedly a UNIX system containing code from various sources, 
including AT&T, UCB, CMU, MIT, and the OSF.  This is quite a different
case from the recently proposed Coherent group because Coherent is a
complete rewrite, i.e. a UNIX "workalike" rather than a version of UNIX.
     Actually, now that I think about it, comp.os.mach is probably
misnamed, too.  ;-)
