Just to for the record: My issue is not at all with you adding variants, uutils or otherwise. My issue is with you silent changing the "coreutils" package to be uutils coreutils. Your message does nothing to address that point. Also, as mentioned in my previous messages changing "essential" packages is not necessarily up to maintainer to do "whatever the fuck they want".
