That is a marketing response. Technically there is no real problem. Well, ok
there is the giant cost differential between an equivalent user-level for HP-UX
and MPE/iX, but again that is a problem only to Mmarketing and Accounting, not
Engineering. I imagine the real reason it is not being done (or at least
officially in the CPL) is that no one is really asking for it.
