Truncating SYS owned tables

I can create a table in schema 'B' and can truncate it from another schema 'A' with DROP ANY TABLE system privilege. But schema 'A' cannot truncate a table owned by SYS. (namely SYS.AUD$).

Does anyone have any info on this?

(nor can schema 'A' drop a sys owned table).
