Thanks. util-linux definitely needs some love. However, can you comment on backward compatibility in terms of Config.in option? I.e, what happens if a Buildroot user has an existing .config which uses util-linux, and upgrades Buildroot to a version that contains your patches. What will happen? In any case, your patch 2/3 is removing BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_BINARIES, so you should update Config.in.legacy accordingly.
