Original description
A contributor proposed a new OpenBSD port for uutils, the Rust reimplementations of GNU coreutils. The proposal met firm resistance: Stuart Henderson called it unusable, explaining that GNU coreutils exists mainly to stabilize GNU-sensitive build environments. Theo de Raadt went further arguing that nobody wants subtly differently-behaving utilities in their pipelines and that ports developers would be stuck maintaining the result. Comments
