I'm not sure anyone has the ability to test on all supported. That doesn't (and really can't) prevent making changes across platforms to platform-specific code. It just means one needs to get help with testing. Make the change across platforms, test on those platforms one has access to, and ask here for help testing on others. Waiting for a POSIX change is even more like watching paint dry than waiting for Java releases used to be.
