severity 400563 wishlist
retitle 400563 shell scripts not strictly POSIX conformant
tags 400563 wontfix
thanks

hi dilinger,

as seen above, i'm lowering the severity of this for the time being,
after getting a verification from some rm's via IRC that this isn't
a serious issue.

furthermore, the currently circulating posix/sh policy amendment
includes mention of local along with "echo -n" in the additional
requirements to the POSIX requirements.

of course if you have $patch which gives me the features of local
in a strictly POSIX environment, i'd be interested in revisiting
the issue.


thanks,
        sean
