Perhaps you use UUCP, but I use DOD Internet protocols and
don't wish to have UUCP forced on my environment.

Network standards are a whole nother ball game and do NOT
belong in the POSIX standard.

Certainly a real-world computer system will benefit from
standards other than POSIX, for example, graphics standards.
That doesn't mean that POSIX needs to include such standards.
