Just for the records: My design goals for Cygwin are that it works fine as a POSIX environment, not that it works fine to run DOS tools. That's a nice side-effect at best.
It seems to me that Cygwin design goals have changed recently otherwise if offering a POSIX environment while coexisting nicely with DOS tools was not one of the legacy Cygwin design goal, how comes this feature/behavior has been included for so many years in Cygwin? How about backward compatibility as a design goal? Backward compatibility is a nice design goal, you know.
