I don’t think Linux or bsd will ever be rewritten in rust nor should they. I do think eventually there will be an os written in rust that surpasses them in popularity, but probably on the time frame of decades.

There are not many CVEs for coreutils anyways: https://www.cvedetails.com/product/5075/GNU-Coreutils.html?v...

To improve security, Rust should probably aim to replace libjpeg and other stuff which deals with malicious data a lot.

coreutils are often run on untrusted data.
