This is by design.
They are slow-rolling the cancellation of Stallman's connection to the OS because their first attempt failed.
In 10 years, no one will have heard of GNU after all components have been replaced with corporate clones.
I find it hard to believe that all of this movement is because of Stallman. That seems so... petty.
GPLv3 is incompatible with embedded (Ubuntu Core) use cases
no it isn't. Please don't spread FUD.

Less Stallman and more the GPL. Companies hate it.
I can see that. I've been part of a conversation where GPL is treated like the son of satan because it requires giving back and no one seems to agree on the scope or what the license actually demands. So legal goes apeshit and management shits bricks because they might have to share some code.
Open source predates Stallman. His mental illnesses are a distraction from it, though.
Stallman is being canceled because an MIT licensed program (sudo) is being replaced with a different MIT licensed program (sudo-rs)?
