I think that might be a bit hyperbolic.  The associated CR is 6488832,
which was fixed in Nevada build 53, and is in progress for S10.

The issue is fairly narrow and affects only a few usage patterns of
posix_spawn.  Unfortunately, one of them is ksh93, but that most
certainly does not mean that _all_ designers should avoid posix_spawn
in _all_ cases.  Instead, see the CR first, and determine if it
matters for what you're trying to do.
