I don't know which discussion you're referring to, and much might=20 have changed since 2016, but I read this[0] to mean the opposite:=20 Busybox should provide the shadow-compatible *add variants, and=20 reimplement their old add* as simple wrappers around that. That's=20 from an upstream(ish) person. =E2=80=9Cadduser/addgroup tend to be symlinks or wrappers, if they exist= =20 at all, but by and large are deprecated. busybox should implement applets that mimic shadow here and deprecate the old ones, if=20 not throw them out. although we can probably rename & massage the sources in these cases=E2=80=9D Still, Busybox *add patches welcome, it would seem. We'll still=20 have to deal with this for the lifetime of the older version.
