Oh no, not full compability!! Arrgh!
We really can't code for the past, it's the future we're forming. When
(if?) this grows in size, emulators can always be written. For now and a
long time forward, I'd only want to focus on the new things we create.

It's maybe not so democratic, but I think UniOS is more important than
other systems... at least on machines that are to run UniOS.
