He is.  So is Rob Pike, Doug, Steve Johnson, Steve Bourne (I got him here)
pretty much all of the remaining Bell Lab luminaries except for bwk.
I've tried to twist his arm, he's remained a hard nut to crack.  I think
the list, and he, would love it if he were here.  So long as we keep it
on point and move stuff like tputs to COFF right away.

I suspect all of them don't want a big deal made about them, my guess
is they are here to talk about Unix.  Just my opinion.
