Research direction

Start by locating the filetime dependency in the repository manifest and searching for its call sites. Check how the standard library can provide the same functionality, then remove the unnecessary dependency and run the relevant project tests to confirm the coreutils build remains green.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Since filetime 0.2.28, its implementation uses the standard library directly. The dependency is therefore no longer necessary.
