I don't see any reason why it needs to be changed. - It already works like var args in C from a program point of view. - Syscalls have a known limited number of parameters. - The way it now is programmed allows better code generation for the syscalls with limited parameters. - It is a syntax issue and there is a FAQ about syntax changes.
