But that doesn't contradict what I said. (At least not what I _meant_ to say.) I wasn't debating the fact that Sinix 5.4x and Solaris 2.x are quite similar internally. (They are.) But neither of these is very similar to System V Release 3. The scheduler, btw., is neither very BSDish nor System Vish. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the class-oriented scheduler is new with SVR4. (And it is pretty nifty.)
