That change is not wrong but causes A LOT of problems....

It can't stay in current state because it will spoil a lot of systems with 
very little gain.


IMO there should be added "R: coreutils-su" in main coreutils and leave it 
for, let's say, 6 months. All current systems will be updated in this 
time, without any problems. After the 6 months that requires could be 
changed into Suggests.
