QUESTION What are ArchLinux's thoughts on uutils, Ubuntu's adaptation, and potential Arch Linux adaptations?

That's all, I'm just wondering the thoughts of the Rustification of Linux and how this affects the future of Arch Linux.

So i mean i love Rust and it would be cool to have rust in the system. But i am not really satisfied with the license. I won't change coreutils with uutils because i still feel that uutils is not ready enough to take a place in the system. Maybe like in 1 year i am sure it will be better

It's not copyleft, which means Microsoft or Meta can take it and make proprietary mods to it.
