I was looking up something historical and ran across the following:
"The existence of several variants of Unix is, of course, a problem not
only when attempting to describe the system ... but to the users and
administrators.
The importance of this problem is not lost upon the proprietors of the
various versions: indeed, vigorous effort is underway to combine the
best features of the variants into a single system."
