Uutils

A follow up to “Carefully But Purposefully Oxidising Ubuntu” in which I describe the plan to migrate to sudo-rs by default in Ubuntu 25.10. Additionally, I cover some updates on the progress with uutils coreutils, and future plans for SequoiaPGP in APT and Ubuntu.

This post explores modern equivalents of foundational system utilities such as coreutils and sudo, introduces an experimental utility for testing them, and maps out a path to their widespread adoption in Ubuntu.
