About submitting GNU or uutils coreutils to AUR. duplicating?

I predict 6+ people are swapping system GNU/coreutils with uutils via AUR/coreutils-uutils*.

It completely removes GNU coreutils from systems. So I'm considering to submitting multicall-GNU coreutils inconflicting with them.
I consider it also provides features disabled at Core/coreutils to avoid conflicting. But is it enough to avoid duplicating?

Moreover, I consider the situation coreutils-uutils builds binaries avaiable at Extra is very bad, and coreutils-uutils-symlink is duplicating.
Removing  -symlink package is blocked by the fact that it also builds (probably unused) libstdbuf.so.

Are they againsting of the rules? Shoud I remove -symlink?

I filed https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/8029 upstream to improve the current situation.
