POSIX isn't a law. You don't "violate" POSIX. It's a standard for compatibility. You can choose to not be compatible with a standard when you think it makes sense. That's something that lots of projects do. You are using standards compliance as a moral cudgel.
Your argument is way too impassioned to be just technical. You just basically accused Lennart of hurting people with no evidence whatsoever.
Apologies for that part, then. I just don't see standards compliance like other people do. Personally, I don't see standards as things that imply some kind of morality. They are tools to accomplish a goal. sometimes other goals may supersede their usefulness.
That is fair enough. I have not argued against your point of view. My comment was more on the linguistic side of things.
You criticised the parent's language saying that "you don't violate a standard" because it "isn't a law". I was just pointing out that you do indeed violate a standard because it's a standard, and saying that does not add any kind of moral or passion value - it's just using the language the way it's intended.

This sort of stuff really doesn't help.
