How do you propose to keep the file in util-linux-ng up-to-date when the version in glibc changes? The glibc version will eventually get new features and bugfixes. Yes, I know that Linux systems running glibc will be using the glibc version of the file, and that having an old version of this file for the benefit of other systems is better than nothing, but I am interested in how we can solve the whole problem.
