--- Comment #1 from joseph at codesourcery dot com <joseph at codesourcery dot com> ---
Policy questions should best be taken to libc-alpha (by someone willing to 
take the lead in getting the discussion to consensus and then documenting 
the resulting consensus on the wiki, not just posting a one-off question 
and waiting for an answer to emerge) rather than filed as bugs; Bugzilla 
is best for something where the presence of a defect is unambiguous under 
existing policy.  If such a consensus were in the direction you propose, 
any bugs filed should be separate bugs for each function or header 
involved so it is clear what is or is not fixed rather than needing to 
track some bugs as partly fixed.
