POSIX is ubiquitous and fixed versions of low-level software (e.g., core GNU tools) are installable on the majority of them; each correcting for differences affecting their functionality.
On GNU/Linux hosts, Maneage even builds a precise version of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), GNU Binutils and GNU C library (glibc).
However, glibc is not installable on some POSIX OSs (e.g., macOS).
-The C library is linked with all programs, thus theoretically this can hinder exact reproducibility \emph{of results}, but we have not encountered any until now.
-When present, the non-reproducibility of high-level science results due to differing C libraries can be identified with respect to known sources of error in the analysis (like measurement errors), but this is beyond the scope here.

%Thirdly, publishing a project's reproducible data lineage immediately after publication enables others to continue with follow-up papers, which may provide unwanted competition against the original authors.
