Now that upstream coreutils 6.10 includes mktemp and arch as standard programs, should we obsolete the mktemp package and reduce the scope of the util-linux package? I won't promote coreutils 6.10 to current until we come to a decision (and I'm open to the alternative idea of not shipping the coreutils version of these programs).
Upstream mktemp has had very little activity for years now. Of course, it's also a very simple program, so it shouldn't NEED much activity. Meh.
I'm willing to obsolete the standalone version in favor of coreutil's offering.
