is POSIX on the roadmap for redox or are they intentionally avoiding that? (to encourage more experimentation and ground up in-rust software development)

Generally, we stick to well-tested and proven correct designs. If it ain't broken don't fix it." >"This means that a large number of standard programs and libraries will be compatible with Redox. Some things that do not align with our design decisions will have to be ported." >"The key here is the trade off between correctness and compatibility. Ideally, you should be able achieve both, but unfortunately, you can't always do so."
