As long as they can co-exist, that seems plausible.

I'd personally rather see the standard form, as it's got a more
diverse set of uses.  If introducing the CONNECT BY form did anything
to prevent implementing it the RIGHT way, I'm pretty sure I'm not the

If anyone ever  markets  a really  well-documented Unix that   doesn't
require  babysitting by a phalanx of  provincial Unix clones, there'll
be a  lot of unemployable,  twinky-braindamaged misfits out deservedly
