I believe that the reasoning went something like this:
"why would anyone want to use adb when we have such a swell dbx?"
"I can't think of any reason off the top of my head"
"OK, lets just leave it out"
"OK"
There is a version of adb for AIX PS/2 that does exist within
the development groups, but I suspect that it will never be
released. Remember, users don't patch the kernel. :-)
