No, it is not a good time. A project like Ubuntu should now be in freeze as they had about 3 months before release and definitely it should not have a break in something basic just because the language used to write the command break backword compatibilty

No, it is not a good time. A project like Ubuntu should now be in freeze as they had about 3 months before release This bug was reported (and resolved by rolling back to the GNU coreutils version of mv) on June 30, a little over 15 weeks prior to the scheduled release date. Which distros have a feature freeze that far in advance? Ubuntu hasn’t even scheduled theirs for 26.10 yet; if you edit that url to look at previous releases’ schedules you can see their feature freeze and debian import freezes are typically about 2 months prior to release. (See here for all of the different types of freezes…)
