I would like to see the compatibility study redone if you remove NETWORKING
from 4.2 and remove all the non-portable stuff from System V.  Shared Memory
is not portable, nor is it required by the SVID.  Semaphores might be useful,
but not as implemented, they need to be fixed so they work.   If you did a
comparison of the system calls/programs/etc... as a function of the sameness
biased by how frequently they were used, you'd probably find the 95% value
more correct.
