Just because a mistake is common doesn't mean it's any less of a
mistake.  One might as well say that code that assumes char is 8 bits,
or long is 32, or long==int, is so common that the standard might as
well be changed to agree.

Look at all the quite experienced C programmers - or more precisely,
people whom the programmer-employment world thinks are experienced C
programmers - who think that near and far are part of the C language.
Shall we put them into the standard too? :-)
