It is NOT a replacement of GNU coreutils AT ALL, as of yet.
Granted under "Goals" it says "uutils aims to be a drop-in replacement for the GNU utils. Differences with GNU are treated as bugs.", but please look around the opened (and closed) issues (since they should tell you about the major, yet simple logic bugs that has occurred). It is definitely not ready, and I am not sure when and if it will be ready.
FWIW the README also says: "some options might be missing or different behavior might be experienced.".
Future will tell, but right now, it is an extremely bad idea to replace GNU coreutils with Rust's uutils. Do you think otherwise? Elaborate as to why if so.
