Some linux ports may use the linux bash (e.g. vendor supplied wrapper =20
scripts) and the tools you proposed are basic utilities which may be =20
used by such scripts. Those scripts depend upon the behavior of the =20
linux versions. Some of the tools don't have the same behavior or =20
options than the FreeBSD ones. So we can not really replace them
