Indeed, many can. Aliases might be part of the answer, as might be
better GUIs so that most people just don't care about "df" output.
My point was that _assuming_ that command line interfaces are somehow
"less" of an interface than C libraries, and just changing the
defaults without due consideration is a serious mistake. Fortunately,
a reasonable architectural review should point out this error.
As far a I know, Sun's binary compatibility does not actually cover
scripts. My reading
of the terms and conditions, it seems that only C and C++ applications
are covered. Though
customers should be informed well in advance in any changes that could
affect their scripts.
