rxvt is a different project, if you have issues with rxvt, take them
there.

I didn't claim it requested posix only. The point is that netbsd, in
typical bsd arrogance, gratitiously broke other software, even though
better alternatives exist, as implemented by other systems - netbsd choose
not to.
And in typical bsd arrogance, it's always the rest of the world who is
broken because they don't comply to netbsd pseudo standards. Come to your
senses, calling this something that needs _fixing_ in rxvt-unicode is just
that: arrogant.
urxvt can work around this and similar breakage in netbsd, but that
doesn't make it something that can be fixed in urxvt, as opposed to merely
workarounded.
But yeah, if you want to come down as arrogant as you do right now, keep
claiming it needs fixing everywhere else. Not sure who buys into your
propaganda, I do not.
