Which is why the AT7T "System" progression stopped at SysV.  Once
the copyright/trademark folks got done, and all the documentation
got printed, they couldn't afford a SysVI.  Nope, instead we got
SysV, SysVr2, SysVr3, SysVr4.  And then, for good measure (after,
for example, Solaris got forked off) we got SysVr4.2 and SysVr4.3.

Sheesh...
