First they came for Gnome 2, replacing it with Unity, and I did not speak out... Then they came for initd, replacing it with systemd, and I did not speak out... Then they came for debs, replacing them with snaps, and I did not speak out... Then they came for X11, replacing it with Wayland, and I did not speak out... Then they came for sudo, replacing it with rs-sudo, and I did not speak out... Then they came for GNU coreutils, replacing it with rust uutils, and I did not speak out...
