Hi, In coreutils-5.2.0 I see that the dotted user.group form of chown(1) is now rejected unless an environment variable is set, and I understand that POSIX specifies that ':' is the separator.
Unfortunately, the Linux Standard Base specifies that '.' may be used in addition. Is there any chance of making this new rejection behaviour dependent on POSIXLY_CORRECT (i.e. having the old behaviour remain the default in its absence), rather than only providing the old behaviour with _POSIX2_VERSION=199209?
