This is a pretty informative page, well done. I have two issues with it:
- The page doesn't seem to be linked from anywhere; not the coreutils FAQ, not
the manual. So discoverability seems rather poor?
- Under "The quotes break my scripts! This is a serious regression.", there's a
link to https://bugs.gnu.org/25388#11, which is a rant with some
misinformation and barely even touches breaking scripts (it does touch piping
to be fair, but again even that part is misinformation-ridden), so it's
rather confusing. Is it a conscious decision or maybe the wrong post is
linked?
