At some risk of over-reacting, I suggest that "ignor[ing] the [other]
platforms" is an excellent way to accrue POLA violations, especially
from those of us who work in heterogeneous environments or are
accustomed to other versions of UNIX.

Fortunately, I believe that there is a sense of this already; I merely
wished to ensure that there was no perception of "assent via silence" in
this case.
