Absolutely nothing.

But systemd projects and Rust rewrites have this one thing in common: them being pure virtue signaling they absolutely have to be noticed. And what's a better way to get noticed if not going for something important and core?

To me, Rust rewrites look like "just stop oil" road blocks - the more people suffer, the better.

Then blame Canonical? Quit it with the Rust hate.


rust coreutils had zero chance of being even noticed until canonical decided to replace working tools with this.
