The oflag=direct option was added to GNU coreutils in version 5.3.0.

5.3.0 is "beta", 5.93 is "stable". But there is one thing that won't let you use newer Coreutils: LSB, namely the Li18nux2000 tests. Coreutils is one of those packages that never go to distros in their pristine form. And, alas, there is still no working patch against Coreutils-5.93 that allows passing the LSB testsuite completely. And distromakers won't trade bugs tested in LSB for bugs unknown to LSB but fixed upstream. So, users are really screwed.
