So you agree it’s wasteful to have both - so then your only options are:
1. Put rg in base without grep. I don’t care if scripts that use grep are broken. 2. Rg does not need to be in base

Ditto. But what I’ll remember is that the rg guy struggles to understand and reconcile the needs of people who rely on critical software.

You and me both. Maybe you could try actually reading my comments. I feel like I'm talking to an AI that has been trained to be maximally annoying through gaslighting.
So unless you can demonstrate that you're a real person (like my profile does), you're now on my ignore list.
