Another LSB editorial at Freshmeat
Our sister publication
Freshmeat has
another LSB editorial. This one emphasizes the need for
tests of standard APIs (something with which I would agree),
but also appears to advocate the same level of compatibility
as in the DOS world... Although compatibility is nice, it is
not some Holy Grail. Microsoft is killing ISA, DOS, and eventually
Win16 because it's a mighty pain to keep things compatible.
A better solution seems to me to be a strong spec, but also
open source code to avoid the need for legacy API horrors are needed to
keep binary compatibility.
