I don't know that S5 as it comes from AT&T is the only exception; most of the code to handle quotas tends to show up in the file system, and there are a number of different file system types on UNIX systems - does AIX 3.x's journaling file system, or SGI's extend file system, neither of which are the "traditional" V7/S5 file system, have quotas? The 4.2BSD file system has them, and I suspect most systems that provide that file system support quotas on it; S5R4 is one system that does. S5R4 doesn't provide quotas on V7/S5 file systems.
