No, that is a *theory*.

Use case would be: here is the hardware that is in desperate need of
busybox because although it has 96/128/core, memory and flash are soooo
limited. I honestly cannot find any hardware like that, and I have been
looking for one now for an hour with google. Not even the supercomputing
mobile platforms are like that and as indicated, even there, having
complete utils is a not issue. It is not a use case to add support for some
random technical challenge. When some submits a change, that person is
expected to provide real case scenarios. Busybox could also add support for
everything that the complete utils can handle in the desktop world, but
that is against its original goals, luckily, since I would not see the
point of NIH there.
