nobody runs Ubuntu's six-month releases in production. Like Fedora it's cutting edge in the literal sense of that term, and if you deploy Ubuntu anywhere in the business world you're on the LTS release.
That the rust coreutils aren't at full parity yet is explicitly mentioned in the release notes of 25.10, if you're installing a distribution with a lifespan of half a year it pretty much goes without saying you're a beta tester for the next LTS release. Like, even if everything was pristine and stable it makes no sense to use an operating system with six months of support in production.
- burnt-resistor 11mo agoTrue that, however coreutils-single is already rolled out in Docker images for RH-derived distros. It's not the same thing, but it has breaking incompatibilities that don't appear when the regular coreutils is installed. Small changes done unwisely lead to big breakage in ways arrogant distro maintainers shove down users' throats. Canonical makes reckless changes regularly.
