Oh, I did full well consider BSD land. They are generally up on the latest standards, and I would even say that most proprietary Unix systems are also far enough along from what I know of them. I do try specifically to support BSD systems and consider their needs to the best of my abilities.
As for NonStop, I checked, and it already forces C99 mode because we use enough features, like inline, that C89 doesn't support and so it needs to do that already.
I do appreciate you looking out for them, though.
