Currently their usage is actively worsening the security of their distro

[Avamander]

These things were caught and basically all of them weren't covered by any test suite (not even GNU coreutils'). It's a bit bold to claim that it's actively worsening it when it's not an LTS.

That's generally what you call introducing new semantic bugs.

It is LTS now. And not LTS releases are releases.

New things can be made optional and tested outside production, and should not be rolled out in an LTS edition.

The Rust coreutils were first rolled out in the previous release which was not LTS:

That was for 6 months only and in an intermediate version that many don't update to, especially in production environments.
