Kubernetes 1.28: A New (alpha) Mechanism For Safer Cluster Upgrades
When a cluster undergoes an upgrade, the kube-apiservers existing at different versions in that scenario can serve different sets (groups, versions, resources) of built-in resources. A resource request made in this scenario may be served by any of the available API servers, potentially resulting in the request ending up at an API server that may not be aware of the requested resource; consequently, it is being served a 404 not found error which is incorrect. Furthermore, an incorrect serving of the 404 errors can lead to serious consequences such as namespace deletion being blocked incorrectly or objects being garbage collected mistakenly.

It implements Linux core utils but with Rust. But it does not seem a 100% replacement for the C version, from the repository readme:
“While all programs have been implemented, some options might be missing or different behaviour might be experienced“
https://github.com/uutils/coreutils
uutils Github account has many useful libraries built with Rust including a replacement for findutils.
Check this example to gather platform information:
