The backout is probably wise for now, but I'd certainly like to see a way to get your good work activated in some environment or other (progress and stability can co-habit, I'm sure). I've suggested elsewhere a path based mechanism for choosing BSD vs. POSIX behaviour (hardly a novel idea). Thanks again for your work in the standards arena. I think the old school will be your most fervent supporters _and_ detractors!
