Several people keep an eye on standards conformance for interfaces
that we do have, and I imagine that we'll be tightening things to
match SUSv3 here and there.
That said, full SUSv3 conformance and implementation of new interfaces
is not a Project goal. When we do add new interfaces we will endeavor
to align them with SUSv3 when possible, but there is not a sense that
adopting SUSv3 wholesale is a good idea.
Some of this is in our goal statement online at
