Userspace that cannot count on a feature (in the best case) won't use it or (much worse) will fall back to broken behavior in one case or the other. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
