Also bear in mind these tools have a long tail of obscure features that aren’t used much. Theres a useful subset of coreutils that is common across gnu coreutils, busybox and FreeBSD & macOS. Full coreutils compatibility is laudable - and of course needed if it’ll ever be a viable replacement. But most shell scripts people actually write probably already work on top of this port.
