  How do you know for sure ?
  Busybox isn't the only alternative userspace. There are other several,
if lesser-known, projects that provide low-level userspace tools.
toybox is one. s6-portable-utils + s6-linux-utils is another. And they
are certainly not the only ones.

  In 2000, I have built a server without GNU software just to contradict RMS,
who was insisting that I should call my system GNU/Linux instead of Linux.
Don't make me build a server without GNU *and* without Busybox just to
contradict you. ;)
