I'm very curious.... why is there such a love affair with the glibc
code? Its one of the oldest version running.. it has not been
well maintained (basically because it couldn't be)... The code has
compatible issues when apps are ported to it (I have bugs to prove
that)... so why is there such a reverence for code that can arguably be
called a lesser implementation?
As far as moving the glibc into a stand alone library, I not
sure how that sense either... I guess the idea is to take the old
code and added in a new network stack resulting in pile of code that has
zero amount testing... verses going with time tested
code that is known to work but does have couple of issues...
From a risk management point of view, it seems to me the latter is
heads and shoulders above the former... so again, why does it make
sense to do this?
