    2332will reject their traditional syntax, a syntax that has been in use for
    2433approximately 30 years. This old syntax is so pervasive that compatibility
    25 should be preserved until the many places where it is used can be updated. More
    26 details on this are provided in the comments inside the patch itself. Use of
    27 this patch is by no means compulsory, but not using it means you'll have to
    28 deal with the consequences yourself: patch the many packages that still use the
    29 old syntax. Therefore, better apply the patch:</para>

     34should be preserved until the many places where it is used can be
     35updated.  Backwards compatibility is achieved by setting the
     36DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION environment variable to &quot;199209&quot; in the above
     37command.  If you don&apos;t want coreutils to be backwards compatible
     38with the traditional syntax, then simply omit setting the DEFAULT_POSIX2_VERSION
     39environment variable.  Realise though, that doing so will mean you&apos;ll have
     40to deal with the consequences yourself: patch the many packages that still use
     41the old syntax.  We therefore recommend using the instructions exactly as given
     42above.</para>
