Hi Bruno, Thanks for asking, but my plans for coreutils shouldn't delay gnulib progress. I may well opt to use a snapshot of gnulib for the stable release. For the not-necessarily-stable coreutils release, it's not as clear. We'll see how things go. I may even postpone things a little, if you expect to finish soon, in order to give the new infrastructure more exposure.
