At first I was sceptical, but after a few thought, I came to the solution that, if uutils can do the same stuff, is/stays actively maintained and more secure/safe (like memory bugs), this is a good change.

What are your thoughts abouth this?

    but they do exist and most of those would be solved with a memory and type safe language.

    Maybe.

    Still, there are other sources of bugs beyond memory management.

    And i’d rather have GPL-ed potentially unsafe C code to… closed-source Rust code.
