These things were caught and basically all of them weren't covered by any test suite (not even GNU coreutils'). It's a bit bold to claim that it's actively worsening it when it's not an LTS.
That's generally what you call introducing new semantic bugs.

Welcome to building something new.
New things can be made optional and tested outside production, and should not be rolled out in an LTS edition.

The Rust coreutils were first rolled out in the previous release which was not LTS:
