I recently closed bin/137647 and had second thoughts after Ivan (the

The suggestion is that ps's -w switch is a strange artifact that can
be safely deprecated. ps goes to great lengths to implement width
limitations, and any time I've seen people not using -ww has either
been a mistake or doesn't matter.
The difference between "ps", "ps -w", and "ps -ww" is pretty
significant for Java, in particular. Java command lines
are typically enormous (thank you, CLASSPATH) which makes
"ps -ww" often more annoying than it's worth.
I concur with another poster that the GNU ps approach for
supporting multiple argument styles deserves consideration.
