That comment (made by me long time ago) is wrong and will be removed.  When we (that is a team of developers at micro systems) started luaunix we wanted something small that provides the unix functionality we need, but also something that we can easily extend, if needed, and something that we control.  Isn't it a plus if we are the upstream?
