All I know is that some of the FreeBSD developers had put off some of
our enhancements, while waiting for the "new" 386bsd.  Finally, we gave
up and started working on it.  We *really* did want to get the "new" 386bsd,
and kept getting disappointed.  My life the last 6 months would have been
a lot easier if the supposed "new" 386bsd came out when it was alluded
to be "just a few weeks away".
