This would be a great discussion to have on the coreutils project
discussion list over at address@hidden instead of here.  This is
the savannah hackers mailing list for people who hack on Savannah.
Savannah is the software forge site for free software projects.

I will try to give you an answer here anyway...  But let's take any
future discussion over to the coreutils list.

If you send this feedback to the coreutils project I am sure they will
greatfully appreciate it.
