So coreutils-8.23 is shaping up to be a bug fix release which I hope could be released within 3-4 weeks. There are a few outstanding items including various df fixes and sort multithreaded fixups to include. We should concentrate on any of the outstanding non feature bugs in this time.
After that the ground would be clear for a more invasive update to add prelim multibyte support and also the unified join/uniq/sort key selection. So I'm thinking: 4 weeks: 8.23 bugfix stable 10 weeks: 9.0 feature unstable 14 weeks: 9.1 bugfix stable thoughts? Pádraig.
