Hmm, can't we wait until the POSIX standard with these changes is official?
Arguments pro waiting:
- The majority of users is looking at the newest released POSIX on the
public web of www.opengroup.org. They will be confused if gnulib
voluntarily deviates from that.
- Decisions of a standardization comittee can anytime be changed or even
withdrawn before the next standard release, causing double work for us
if we follow the standard closely.
Arguments against waiting:
- When the POSIX standard with these changes is released, it will take us
less time to implement the changes.
