On the contrary, Unix and its tools are primarily being perpetuated
because the cost-effectiveness of porting Unix to a new processor is
much higher than writing a new operating system.  Let's face it, they
made one good decision which outweighed all the later bad ones, which
was to write Unix in an easily portable language.
