Code written in Rust has been shown to have significantly fewer security vulnerabilities than code written in C. Distributions like Ubuntu ship a lot of security updates, so by switching to Rust-based utils, they can reduce their workload in the long run.
After introducing the Pro I don’t think so.
There’s probably some zero day exploit someone is holding onto until everything is rust and then, bam!. Yeah, that’s just silly to think. Just silly.
But looking at the security vulnerability records of gnu coreutils that wasn’t really needed. There were like a handful in the last 15 years… So I don’t really see a need or benefit here.
