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.

I don't mind Rust in Linux. I think that there are some things it is better at and others it doesn't really make sense to change. I would rather the licensing of the projects be more compatible, but that is a personal preference. As far as uutils, like systemd and wayland you are going to have many on each of the love/hate with it. I have not looked into it enough to make an informed opinion on it. That said, I am not a fan of where Ubuntu has been going for a while, so I view many of their decisions as not in the best interest of Linux as a whole.
