The thing with new features in standards is that they are not backwards
compatible. De facto compatbility means having things work with
existing software. Even if non-GNU versions of make adopt the new
standard, there will still be old versions of make to work with.

This is perhaps the moment when suckless movement should pick the
recommended version of POSIX standard (1003.1-2017?), similar to how
C99 is recommended as the suckless C standard.
