And this would still not solve the problem of fragmentation because multiple incompatible implementations... I begin to think the whole concept is flawed.

Denial acrobats... instead of removing features because a nebulous concept of "security" they should adopt a system of permissions, if I want an application to be able to position windows then prompt me for authorization and remember it.

Linux/Unix always allows deletion of an opened file if you have permissions.
