The gp was discussing whether or not it would be used - the people responsible for the decision to use it are... the people in the community making said decision. This isn't a subjective debate on the definition of the word community. This isn't about excluding people on merit. It's just literally a discussion of who's going to make or break adoption. I'm not sure what point you think you're making talking about users caring about coreutils - ultimately that depends on those users being engaged in the decision-making process. Alpine is btw an excellent example - one can make a good argument that that example supports adoption of this Rust rewrite. The only point I was contributing is simply that Android is an extremely bad example to use in such an argument.
