I wonder of that.

Tangentially, I can't think of anything which has mangled *BSD worse
than POSIX.  There are quite a few things that BSD handled more gracefully
than POSIX dictated, yet to deviate from POSIX is considered a Bad Thing
in this world of *NIX, so BSD lost out.

POSIX could have stood to learn something from Berkeley, SVID and SUS2
notwithstanding.
