"Null quoting (like find's print0) is completely
inappropriate for those purposes."
"The -print0 hack is a broken idea."
By the sound of that, Tom is going to replace all of unix
from libc up.

Welcome to gnuarch.
You are in a maze of twisty little revisions all different.
There are many irritating sharp corners here.
I've given up complaining, because
1. it does no good
2. i've gotten used to the sharp corners mostly
2. the fundamental design is so excellent it seems
churlish to complain
Which would be ok because I could scratch my own itch.
However gnuarch seems to have eruptions every now and
then which make navigation difficult.
