That goes against my grain, at least. FreeBSD has, AFAICS, always been built
on the philosophy that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing
properly, regardless of what anyone else is doing. Just because the "big
player" in the field has a broken implementation, that does not require
FreeBSD to change from being faithful to the standard. It's up to the
people who are not compliant to change. This is a strength, not a weakness.

Following the same logic, Linux should be a Windows clone.
