There's a lot to be said for ideas which hit it so "on the nail" in the IT world that they manage to stick around for so many decades. An alternative take, too, could be basing an OS on bleeding edge C23 and new releases into the future should act as something of a modern baseline of the UNIX standard. That could be used as a starting point or comparison for future OS development. Or, perhaps at worst, it probably makes the developers very aware of how the current *nix flavors could be improved from the lowest levels on up.
