BSD will have more innovative features than SysV for
a long time, but SysV will always be more stable.

Witness AFS, the Andrew File System: the first nationwide
file system.  It runs under BSD, and I don't think it'll be
on SysV machines for a while.  But, I could be wrong.

BSD code is more accessable; if AT&T wants major innovations
under SysV, they are going to have to be more easy-going 
with the sources and software hooks.
