Consider this:  Anything which makes Apple's A/UX more attractive may 
cause some current or potential Mac OS users to switch to UNIX, thus 
freeing them from their dependency on Apple.  If RSM *really* wants to
decrease Apple's power to monopolize he should be putting extra effort into
an A/UX version of the GNU software, rather than neglecting A/UX.
