Are there any thoughts as to documenting what standards DragonFly is
expected to conform to, and where and why these standards have been
deviated from? e.g. POSIX, The Single UNIX Specification, etc.
What are, or are there any standards that DragonFly officially strives
to support?
If I were to add this kind of information to the man pages in relation
to say The Single UNIX Specification, whould these changes be accepted
by the project?
Looking as the handbook it seems that there should be at least another
two sections dealing with standards conformance. One should be in the
users section which describes standards in relation to user command line
utilities, etc., and one should be in the system administration section
with similar content.
There should also be similar sections for standards conformance of
system interfaces, library interfaces, etc. in a programmer's handbook.
