+
+    <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...
