I think that the patches themselves are in very good shape (thanks to
Adhemerval fixing up all my bad formatting.)
The delay is due to some last-minute worries[1] that the functions might
need to have _np suffixes on them until they're actually formally part of
POSIX. I think that the chance of the function names or parameters changing
at this stage is low, but I'm not an expert in the standardisation process.
Thanks.
Mike.
