Ubuntu is evaluating it as the default in order to see if it’s ready. That’s something you want to do before declaring something 1.0.
If it’s not ready, they’ll roll it back.
Part of why you have to do something like this is because the test suite just isn’t comprehensive, nor should we expect it to be. Real world usage is what shakes out the long tail of bugs. You just have to have some sort of stage like this in order to get things into a good state.
so they see issues that rise up from real world issues that tests might not cover? the same ubuntu version also bundles the latest kernel which is not considered stable to begin with.

They will absolutely not roll it back, not matter how broken they are.
The reasons to switch from coreutils to the Rust rewrite are purely political.

Did 100% of tests pass when Ubuntu made this decision? My understanding was no.
