- Hmmm. No, I wasn't aware of that.
-
- How much money does IEEE get selling each new POSIX.n? How much money
- does IEEE lose organizing the creation of each new POSIX.n?
-
- Is the POSIX series a service to the community, or a cash cow for IEEE?
- When a new POSIX.n is proposed, how much of a _disservice_ does it have
- to be to the community before IEEE decides that it isn't worth doing?
- Or is money the only criterion?
-
- Just curious.
