What GNU software is actually being removed from any distro?

Ubuntu replaced their core userland utils with uutils, so the bulk of it. I’m guessing most other distros will follow suit.

Huh. I didn't know Ubuntu had replaced GNU coreutils. I'm not sure that alone counts as "the bulk of it", but it's definitely very significant.

pipewire, systemd, Wayland, etc. none of that is produced or maintained by GNU.

ALSA, sysvinit, and Xorg weren't GNU projects, either.
