Yes, but that misses the point. We don't just write stability notices into our man pages for our health. They actually do mean something about what we're promising to deliver
Luckily df(1M) is lacking such a "stability notice". Is this a bug :)
I am all for compatibility, but we now have to work out what is todays standard, and how far we go preserving compatibility with older standards. I have been through the change-over from SunOS 4.1.x to Solaris 2.X (an extremely large change). While the little things at first were a real pain "different ps command", in the end I got use to the differences. All applications/scripts etc we needed to change came out through testing, and were fixed. The only thing we could bring over was the Software to talk DEC LAT. Too bad eh! :)
