True.

It mainly dates back from when those busybox alternatives didn't get
much testing, so were likely to fail. We default to having busybox
enabled, but I don't think we really need to make it more difficult to
use the alternatives.

E.G. if we support bash/coreutils/.., then we should really support
them.
