That's silly. You can have strlcat() and strlcpy(), yet be compatible

Lest this seem pointlessly nasty I think the emerging de-facto split is
pretty much ideal: it leaves Ulrich and a few others to do technical
wizardly in the alleged 'upstream' where they don't have to do anything
hard like interact with human beings, and everyone else can go to eglibc,
where all the contributions from everyone else and all the stuff people
need to actually build a glibc for the distributions (other than RH) can
be added on.

This is in effect the split that has long existed anyway: it's only that
the distro stuff was split across dozens of repositories, which made it
very hard for people building their own glibc to do so. Now it's made much
easier, and everyone is in their ideal positions and can be happy :) and
Ulrich doesn't have to talk to anyone he doesn't want to, ever again,
which I suspect will make him happy. Or at least less grumpy. :)
