So? The purpose of Fedora is not to follow some specification documentation, it is to provide stable, reliable, useful system.
If breaking applications was done in favor of some drastic performance improvements, that might be ok, following API break path that upstream is planning to do.
But there's nothing like that. You are fighting to protect a vacuum. You want to break applications in order to gain _nothing_.
I guess it's more important to make a few developers at RedHat feel good about themselves because they manage to close a bug without moving a finger, and claiming POSIX correctness, than to make the system more reliable.
Congratulations, you have knowingly made the system more unreliable in order to gain nothing.
