"sleep" has always been approximate. If you issue a "sleep X" command, a= ll that=20 you can count on is that you sleep for at least X seconds. We shouldn't=20 document the internals of how "sleep" accomplishes this. That being said= , it=20 might make sense to say "sleep is approximate", if we're not saying it al= ready.
