I'm sorry but this is being blown out of proportion. Saying that
something might happen in the future is clearly someone's opinion (or
goal!) and needs no policing.

I have no particular sympathy for this "rewrite it in X" fad, but we
don't know, maybe at some point of the future, rust coreutils may be
better than GNU coreutils, or maybe not. That's clearly not the case
today, and if it is someday, a replacement will surely go though a long
and devastating discussion that will stress us all, before actually
happening. In the meantime, let people experiment.
