ords, this is all boiling down to a bikeshed painting contest.
I _do_ value consistency, and I would welcome a change that first
documents our intention to make a change to a default (whether that
change is to grep, to ls, to the GNU Coding Standards, or somewhere else
is still up for debate), and
; and a 'git grep' of 'fileutils' within the findutils package
shows that findutils does not have any stale references to the old
coreutils mailing aliases. Likewise for a grep of the coreutils sources
- the only references to the old addresses are in historical not
e go away.

It turns

This is due to a known bug in the Alpha implementation of memchr:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12019
In m4.git, branch-1.4 already has a workaround for the Alpha bug, by
using a newer gnulib that detects the bug in glibc and uses a
replacemen
se the
