I think the real issue isn't the rewrites, it's the fact that Ubuntu started using the new Rust coreutils even though they weren't ready for production yet. uutils hasn't even reached version 1.0 yet, and still fails some compatibility tests.

It's an intermediate release, so the perfect time for Ubuntu to evaluate uutils for their next LTS

I've heard this argument before, and it makes no sense. You evaluate new core components internally as part of developing your distro, not in releases because "they're not LTS"

Canonicals non-LTS releases are basically shitty betas. No one sane uses them in production or on their desktop.
