Why? Even then, nobody thought that. Including ast. Minix was a toy OS, it was designed specifically for teaching, not for actual use. Minix3 is not minix. It just shares the name and the designer. It is a completely different kernel that shares no code. It was designed to be used. That's why minix3 is being used and minix was not.
