- The P1003.1 "POSIX" standard went thru a 1 year "trial use" period. Was this
- a useful and productive process? What were the results of the "trial use"
- period, and how were they incorporated into (or omitted from) the final
- standard? Does this meet some of the criticism that is currently being
- brought against 1003 that it is going too fast too soon?
-
- P1003.2 and P1003.3 are currently in balloting; P1003.4 will be balloted
- beginning in January. I have not heard of any "trial use" period for these
- standards. Should the "trial use" concept be applied to these standards?
