Hm, that's partly right. Taylor-UUCP and nn just compiles fine and easy.
Elm on the contrary is real work to get it running well.
There is another thing to consider:
386bsd has a stable BSD-FFS and stable networking, while there are bugs in
the Linux efs and in their networking.
While most peoble only use Unix Domain IPC and no Internet Domain IPC, the
later is not grave, but the former leads to data loss.
