I'm not aware of any discussions but indeed we are returning EINTR while
closing the fd. Frankly, changing the error code we return in that case is
really asking for userspace regressions so I'm of the opinion we just
ignore the standard as in my opinion it goes against a long established
reality.

AFAICS what happens is that relevance of Austin Group has dropped so low
that they stopped caring about any BS filters they used to have.  What
we are seeing now is assorted pet idiocies that used to sit in their
system, periodically getting shot down while there had been anyone who
cared to do that.

Sad, of course, but what can we do, other than politely ignoring the... output?
