Yeah, reading through some of the threads, seems like they didn't support a flag, failed silently, and had no test coverage for that (they do now). Non-LTS version or no, having these tools "in production" seems premature on Canonical's part.
Anyone know if Debian is planning to replace GNU coreutils too?
