Most changes and enhancements made to BSD/OS are due to customer demand. There has not been very much customer demand for Taylor UUCP, thus no engineering effort has budgeted for the conversion. Be aware that changing the product is not as easy as grabbing Taylor UUCP and installing it, since there's testing and support training and so forth that would have to be done. If enough people asked for it, I'm sure BSDi would make Taylor UUCP the default. Right now nobody is asking for it.
