No, I'm not: I'm just asking how people use compat_svr4, with the notion that if
someone wants to maintain it from now on, there is no reason to remove it, even
if nobody uses it. If you (John, Dave and Eduardo) have no answer to the
question, and instead prefer to state, with some bizarre tone that I don't tend
to appreciate, that my approach is wrong because the code "simply" needs to be
fixed, then yes, as I said, I'm tempted to ask you whether you want to fix and
maintain it.
