The author raises some good questions about the licensing of the core utils. Why the MIT license? Why not stick to GNU GPL?

I wish there were a Linux equivalent for what the Windows world had before Windows 7 went EOL, where you could have an older, stable base OS that was mostly forward-compatible with newer software.

You can sort of achieve this with Debian Stable and Flatpak, but it's not as seamless as the forward compatibility old versions of Windows had.
