In 1998, it may be a substandard way to write code. That isn't
enough reason to justify breaking something that has worked
fine for 3 decades on UNIX systems and for many years on Linux.
There is no reason to convert Linux into a BSD clone at the
expense of existing Linux and UNIX source code. If you really
want BSD, you know where to get it.
