You could make the same kind of articles for the old coreutils if you really wanted to. Just creatively "rewording" the bugfixes from the recent 9.8 release:

• GNU Core Utilities Are Causing Failures [when copying between NFS and non-NFS filesystems with ACLs]
• GNU Core Utilities May Cause Data Corruption [with copy ranges larger than 2 GiB]
• Correctness Bugs Found in GNU Core Utilities [tail --pid may race with reused PIDs]

I feel like the reactions regarding uutils are a bit... off in general. There seem to be a lot of people who are pathologically negative towards open source projects for, frankly, bullshit reasons, like vague complaints about "Rust evangelism" (what?) or how permissive licensing is against the spirit of open source (WTF).

Phoronix isn't helping with these clickbait articles which border on content farming and their failure to moderate their comments of course, but these negative attitudes seems to cut across sites, also including Lemmy, Reddit and even Hackernews.

The uutils team seems to be doing well but it makes me sad to think about any aspiring open source devs without corporate backing reading such drivel.
