Don't just say "I dislike it because expect some potential breakage somewhere", lets write _in_detail_ what _is_ currently not working for you as supposed. So, gathering some real stats we can deside what to do at the next step. Possible solutions are; provide env. variable for old bug-to-bug compatibility or vice versa, activate new stuff under _POSIXLY_CORRECT env. variable or provide warning for a while or provide #define and so on, it depends on real picture. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Otherwise the whole discussion turns to be just ad hoc speculation POSIX vs. BSD without any real ground. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Ports system is our main goal for now (and base, of course, in case I miss something).
