Wrong! How many times must I say this?
IT DOES NOT BREAK STANDARDS. I checked. You can go look for yourself,
in the Unix98 standard (version 2 of the Single Unix Specification).
As for fixing scripts... Sure, people have known that for 28 years.
One might assume all security holes would be fixed by now. :-)
I happen to find this extreme conservatism disturbing. Solaris has
beaten Linux to the stack-exec fix, even though the Linux patch was
available long ago! I'd say they took the Linux idea and just used it.
Innovation must die, right? This is sick.
