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.
