It is known exactly what they end up being. Any software that is written
with any sort of vague attempt to be portable and/or actually useful to its
users in a mixed environment, rather than being written to make some sort of
political or religious point, will cope, on either platform, with either
form of line ending if at all possible (which for text file input it almost
always is).

Anybody whose anti-Microsoft religious mania forces them to deliberately
write code that doesn't cope with both sorts of line endings really should
consider a career change.
