Yep, mistakes do happen. Gnulib has stable branches that can protect some packages from these breakages <https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Stable-Branches.html> but AFAIU coreutils frequently needs new features from Gnulib and therefore cannot use the stable branches. > I noticed the issue because the following "very-expensive" tests failed > (which succeeded with coreutils-9.3): > > FAIL: tests/rm/ext3-perf > FAIL: tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM Did you notice these failures by chance, or do you run coreutils continuous integration on a fixed schedule? More generally, for which systems are coreutils continuous integrations being run regularly? For which systems would it be useful to have it? https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ references https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/coreutils-master but it seems that this CI stopped working in 2021.
