Well, some Apple workers were claiming that they were trying to become more POSIX compliant if where they can do so easily, but that it's a fairly low priority. Given the fact that the programmers working on OS X are extremly reluctant to make any changes, even to broken things, unless they really have to (seems the internal clima isn't very well currentyl...), I think the chances of seeing much here is pretty slim. This extends to such simple changes as getting rid of the need to #include <sys/types.h>, which would only require changing a few other sys/*.h files. Oh well.
