I've been using the stock BSD/OS uucp w/o problems.  I appreciate the
fact that it "looks like" the older versions of UUCP I used under
BSD 2.? and the older BSD 4.? systems.  If the folks at BSDI stopped
using it and changed to Taylor, I suppose it wouldn't be all that big
a deal to switch, but I can't see why anyone would go out of their
way to do so.  Maybe I'm missing something, though.
