So we should either make this explicit, and file bugs against ash, bash, &c. until they comply with SUSv3 + UP, or stop requiring this, and file bugs against package scripts until they comply with policy. Irrespective of adding requirements, 11.4 should probably be clarified. "POSIX" and "non-POSIX" are slightly vague. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
