I agree with you. Based on the active work you and others are doing in
libcmd, it seems to me that these ought to be the preferred "default"
versions -- they have the most sought for features from GNU, but also
bring performance and standard conformance benefits.
I'd be willing to sponsor an ARC case (it would have to be a fully
reviewed case) to make this change.
