HA HA. Nice joke.
The last person who tried to suggest that parts of coreutils promote
unportable scripting was kicked off the coreutils list and got a few
interesting other lists subscriptions, such as the famous nazi.org
SIEG HEIL list. The coreutils team and McGrath/Drepper are mortal
enemies; neither team will add a comment in their own documentation
that the other team is right. Forget that quickly.
