[net.misc] Is it true in 4.2 ?

Is it true that in 4.2 the "open" command will take three arguments?
Won't this break virtually every program?
If so, why not simply have the kernel call be Open (or opEN or whatever) with
open, creat, etc. defined in terms of it (macro, subroutine, hard wired,
whichever is best).
It is only rarely necessary and desirable to cause the sky to fall.
