Why do you ask?  Will this actually have an effect on the GNU kernel?

My opinion is that the GNU kernel should either provide an exact
duplicate of a standard UNIX system interface, preferably SVR4,
or it should be a quantum leap forward in OS design.  The latter
will not be achieved by piling "features" into it.
