Why would you drop it completely? It's an essential tool, especially in a Windows environment.Upstream coreutils is considering completely dropping su, in favor of having util-linux provide su across all GNU/Linux distros. Right now, cygwin's su.exe comes from coreutils, but with a cygwin-specific patch, and it still doesn't do quite what users are used to from a Linux perspective. Is it better to completely drop su from cygwin, or should I coordinate with the util-linux maintainer to hand control of su out of coreutils and over to util-linux?
