That’s extremely unexpected.
The GNU utils weren’t written by Canonical so they were doomed from the start.
Not to worry, they’ll ship 'em via snap.
Straight to jail.
I like snap, send me to camp.
More likely they will make them dependent on snap so you can’t remove snap without breaking the system.
Oh god no
Why?
Because why? I can expect a very niche distro like Cachy do it but not a big project with a serious market share.
Canonical has a long history of doing wacky shit that nobody asked for though. Unity, upstart, snap, probably other things that I’m not thinking of
Unity was great, though. Ubuntu took a hit going back to customized gnome
Unity at least didn’t break anything, and you still had a choice in choosing desktop environment.
