- Most of the discussion has NOT been on Xenix/286, but rather a more general
- Xenix -vs- UNIX and "the needs of the client". The Xenix/286 started as a
- side discussion, and is basically off-track from the original one.

- Part of this discussion has been just that, is an orderely transition in
- order at this time, and most of us agree that it is not time to put
- Xenix "out to pasture". It still has useful purposes and is still a very
- viable solution for some customers.
