Given that the merger will mean the loss of Tru64, in favor of the HPUX
solution, I would expect the folks at www.tru64.org to be biassed against
it.  Since I have no love for Tru64, this doesn't affect me.  In fact, I
regard the death of any Unix system to be highly welcome, particularly a
Compaq one.
