What is your short list of issues?  From a high level there appear to be none, but the devil is in the details, eh?

From earlier in the thread, bsdsort and gnu sort are compatible.  old, crunchy, unmaintained gnu sort that we have in the tree isn't compatible with either new gnu sort nor bsdsort.  this means it isn't compatible with what the linux crowd is using, which is another consideration given the number of shell scripts that originate there these days.
