Unfortunately, in many cases, it has to be an absolute rule.
I totally get the mindset (and semi-subscribe to it myself)of wanting FreeDOS
to be a kind of MS-DOS but improved in every way possible including fixing
Microsoft's bugs, but realistically that cannot be in all cases since some
legacy software out there may very well be relying on a specific behavior
present in MS-DOS and us fixing that bug - even when normally be the right
thing to do - may break compatibility in those cases.
