It seems Linux Mint is dropping GNU coreutils in favor of rust-coreutils following Ubuntu. (blog.linuxmint.com)

Clem talks about that in the comments. What are some no hassle, Debian based, rustless distros as alternative to Mint?

    they have to follow Ubuntu

    Will Ubuntu do a hard replacement of coreutils with coreutils-rust, i.e. the usual C implentation of coreutils won't be available anymore?

    I assume they will simply install coreutils-rust instead of coreutils while keeping the latter in their repositories. So, in theory, Linux Mint may keep using the C implentated coreutils.
