I think that the more important thing to worry about right now is
how much Posix compliance ends up in the kernel. BeOS
had pretty good compliance (and, IMHO, good choices on which
feature sets to implement), but left out two very important things:
1. STOP and CONT (i.e. CTRL-Z and job control)
2. mmap
While I'd like to see item 1 fixed, adding mmap support is much
deeper issue.
