If they have a linux environment they support clone. If they dont support
clone they are lying when they claim to have a linux compatible sandbox.
Linux emulations on BSD get this right already - nobody else has any excuses.
In addition packages already use the clone features, so we need to specify them.
Trying to bury a Linux feature so you can implement poor compatibility with
Linux is just crap.
What exactly is your agenda for trying to kill off clone() ? Easy Linux
emulation in AIX?
