+ <antrik> tschwinge: the writeup ignores the fact that POSIX compatibility
+ is not only for applications, but also for users familiar with the UNIX
+ environment
+ <antrik> also, I still don't buy the fact that most software is not written
+ for POSIX. even if assuming that GNOME programs don't use POSIX (which is
+ only half true), there is a lot of other software in a system that is
+ just as important, though less visible
+ <antrik> (server software, startup system, device management, automation,
+ ...)
+ <antrik> tschwinge: BTW, I meant to (and partially did) write a blog
+ article on this topic -- but I didn't get around to finish it...
