Isn't the right approach to see if there is support for changing standards.texi first? If I understand correctly, your patch would make all applications using gnulib for version-etc stop being compatible with standards.texi and that seems like a bad idea to me. I would support making this change to standards.texi though. But if for some reason that doesn't happen, I think gnulib should be consistent with standards.texi rather than coreutils. /Simon
