Can we please add a call to epatch_user in src_prepare? When eapi5 hits, it can simply be changed to apply_user_patches.

we don't generally add epatch_user to all packages, we do it for ones that get commonly patched.  which coreutils is not.  so you need to provide justification.

Yup, the example from "A Simple Example" on that page was done with coreutils[acl,xattr].
