As quoted from <258 at quintus.UUCP> by ok at quintus.uucp (Richard A. O'Keefe):
+---------------
| To summarize:  the SVID is good news for applications developers.  It says
| quite clearly what can't be DELETED in a hurry.  But it is nevertheless the
| case that AT&T _could_ ADD enormous chunks to the SVID without warning (for
| example, streams) which is _not_ good news for UNIX vendors, and that was
| Henry Spencer's original point.
+---------------

A few years ago, people were bitching about the System V standard because it
didn't include networking.  Now they're bitching because there's a mechanism
for adding such missing pieces?!

A little less heat, please, and a little more light.  Not to mention just a
bit more so-called "common" sense.
