Why does #Canonical wants to replace the fully developed #GNU #coreutils by their newly developed #uutils?
The only difference is, that the uutils are a reimplementation in #RUST of the coreutils, written in #C.
All they obviously do is to put issues into these absolute basic utilities that doesn’t exist in the originals.
To me that makes no sense. The only idea I get why Canonical might do this is to get more control over basic utilities of #Linux.
