This isn't a nagging question, it's a non-sequitor!  8-).

Well, CSRG is (according to them) shutdown.  I have heard nothing from
Bill for forever (though I did talk to Lynne after they starte the DDJ
advertising), so I can't speak to 386BSD.

386BSD split off from CSRG when Bill felt that he wasn't going to get to
produce a bootable disk for 4.4 (you really should read the original
386BSD anti-UUNET disclaimer, available at archives where you can still
find 386BSD 0.1 ...few of them).
