Wy rename them? This exactly gives people the opportunity to contribute stuff to standard tooling without having to go through a mailing list and with a much better developer experience.

Yes, it's on Microslop Github, but I have hope they'll see the light and move away from that AI riddled big tech platform. At the latest when forgejo or another forge implements federation.

Wy rename them?

Because they have to work 100% like the original tools otherwise. I will not write compatibility checks for the -rs set in my scripts and likely nobody else too. Even POSIX compatibility is often already expected too much.

Why so they have to work 100% like the original tools? Why can't it overlap and add more? Why can't it remove features that are confusing or a security liability?
