Yes, the commercial community has moved to System III while the
academic community has remained pretty much with 4.?bsd.  However,
System V doesn't make the situation any worse and may make it
somewhat better, since it will include (according to reliable
sources) several of the more useful Berkeley enhancements as
well as the latest good stuff from Bell.

Extrapolating purely from the known path of USG UNIX before System
V, I expect that it will be HIGHLY upward-compatible with System
III.  Remember, AT&T has a sizeable user base USG has to consider...
