To be honest, it absolutely should aim to be at least a strictly compatible subset of POSIX, even if it doesn't implement everything. There is really no good reason to XKCD 927 this on purpose, but the mentality regarding this is not written anywhere that I saw. I think the mentality regarding compatibility ought to be documented in more detail. What is considered a "bug"?
