APIs: POSIX versus Classic

Hello,

the only reason why the POSIX API is optional is that you can save some code 
and data space in applications that don't need it.  It helps also to reduce the 
code size to be reviewed.

The asynchronous cancellation is not production ready from my point of view, 
but this is a questionable concept on its own.

The POSIX thread support enables you to use a lot of common third party libraries.
