I disagree with the implication.  Both System V and BSD Unix have their
pros and cons.  Depending on what you're doing, in some cases you'll be
better off with System V and in other cases you'll prefer BSD (for instance,
research vs development).  I see nothing wrong with that. It just says
that neither is perfect.
