Yes, that I get. My question is more about if duplicates can ever occur
/ how likely it is that duplicates are present / what is the problem
about duplicates?

I would think that duplicates are sufficiently rare that the
(potentially) extra modprobe calls vs extra overhead of sort vs cat is
probably down in the noise, but we can certainly keep the sort (it does
mean that we depend on another busybox applet though).

Yes, or we can force the options on, like we do for other things in
busybox.
