bug#24926: ls output has been made ugly

[Michael Schwager]

Can anyone point me to the mailing list discussion where this originally
was decided?

There are legion of coreutils users out there who are dumbfounded and who
detest this change; I see that Debian has reverted it. However, I (and
Debian) could be wrong. I'd like to see the original discussion which will
hopefully point to the well-founded reasoning for its implementation (eg,
POSIX requires it, a tremendous clamour from the user community, what have
you).

I have searched in the mailing list but not found the original point of the
decision; I don't have the proper expression foo to return it...
