Hopefully all the SCO Unix 386 traffic will take place in
comp.unix.i386, since the similarities should be greater than the
differences.... :-)

Seriously, the main reason that people didn't want to just replace
comp.unix.xenix with comp.unix.i386 was to support all the non-386
Xenix versions that will persist even when the merged release becomes
reality.  (There was also considerable skepticism that the merged
release would show up before 1990....)
