[adelie-devel] Future of GNU coreutils and OpenRC

Over the past few days, conversation in IRC has brought about talk of
the s6 set of utilities becoming more strongly integrated with Adélie,
with a hopeful end result of s6 powering init (once s6-linux-init is
done), services (via s6-rc), and process supervision, among other things
like tcp wrappers, etc. Talk of gutting GNU coreutils was also present.

I'd like to ask: what does this mean for developers or users like myself
who currently use GNU coreutils and OpenRC? What is Adélie's official
long-term statement on the "main" software stack? (for lack of better
phrasing)

Thanks for your time and consideration.
