(WASIX insider)

lets reflect on this - if this was done as pull requests to `preview1` then would it have been accepted?... it would have received rejection comments around even the idea of these particular POSIX compatible syscalls.

WASIX should be seen as a preview 1.5 rather than something new, just extensions to WASI that add the missing bits that are badly needed today to actual compile useful apps from various code bases.

at a minimum this is an interim solution so that app developers can just start compiling their code bases into WASM and we can all get moving forward together - no one wants a fork here.

of course the WASI maintainers are reading all this and hopefully this will be a wake up call to add these missing syscalls as a priority also into preview2 so everyone benefits - then WASIX can die and its purpose is served... but until then WASIX will get long term support so the community can proceed literally today onwards.
