Nice article overall, but the conclusion "you should not use it [gnulib] in critical software" does not follow. Core GNU commands like "cp" and "diff" use gnulib extensively. And this is not merely for porting to non-GNU hosts, it's also for working around common bugs in GNU hosts. If it weren't for gnulib, these commands would be less reliable in practice. So the recommendation should have been the other way around: gnulib is useful in critical software.
