Digging around in various CVS/Subversion repositories, it looks like
there are many old (but perhaps not yet museum-worthy) *BSD versions
that behave this way:
* NetBSD 4.x and older (5.0 released April 2009). see: [1] [2]
* FreeBSD 3.1.x and older (3.2 released May 1999). see: [3] [4]
* OpenBSD 2.x and older (3.0 released Dec 2001). see [5]
Speaking on behalf of the OpenBSD project: OpenBSD 2.x should be
considered dead, buried, rotted, and worthy of derision. History is
history: useful to study, but if you try to live there you will die of
horrific diseases. Do not hold up progress on the basis that you'll
trip over a 12+ year old release.
