"Perhaps someone should check on the currency of this validation process,
but there certainly was a validation suite and process for POSIX systems
entering the U.S. Government's inventory."

IN fact later posts to CLA make it clear that not only is there such
a testing process, but there is now a standardized suite (the latter
development being more recent).
