It depends on how hard it would be for filesystem providers to fix their ware, but (1) leaving our code to require open semantics of POSIX may serve as an incentive to encourage them to do so, and (2) I am not fundamentally opposed to have an option to help users of such flawed filesystem, provided if such a change is done cleanly.
