That's essentially my perception, yes. Mind you, CSRG had been fairly actively (with intensity increasing in later years) working on replacing AT&T code with independently- implemented code donated by others. My recollection is that as of the 4.3 Reno release, there was about 15 - 20% AT&T code; as of Net/2, it was something more like 5% (or less) -- and a significant chunk of that was in the code used to boot the system. 4.4Lite, I believe, was just about everything *except* the critical parts needed to boot.
