For example there was fix for nice provided by coreutils merged recently: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=57b1b20abca7d6821e99802147b93f4f577cfad0 or setfattr in attr: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=d633633f3d83467fe1f946c57e2e75e0e774ec7e busybox have a lot of available applets and people tend to enable/disable them in their own defconfigs quite often, removing something from util-linux or coreutils would break it for people who disabled the same in busybox defconfig and vice versa, u-a on the other hand will work reasonably for everybody. If you have conflict with unshare, just send a patch. I will do the same with printenv for coreutils which I have in .bbappend for way too long.
