Hello Adolf, Interesting question. I would assume that coreutils has a very extensive test suite that will catch any unintended changes in behaviour of any of the tools. I would also rule out that this is an intentional change. That might break a lot of stuff elsewhere.
I don’t quite understand why myMPD needs this trailing newline, but I would suggest to report upstream and see what they say about it.
