I wish I knew.  Mike Karels had been using the name `4.3a' temporarily,
but found that IBM has already used that name for a PC/RT release.
In the meantime, I have been calling it `4.3+', `4.3++', and (the
latest) `4.3T': T for Tahoe.

Anyway, there *is* an update to 4.3BSD in the wings, but it probably will
not be called 4.4.  Apparently tacking a suffix onto an existing name
makes it easier to convince the lawyers to use the same contract, or
something.
