Are there any plans to replace sh with bash. Granted they're not 100% compatible, though my only experience with bash vs sh incompatibility was over 6 years ago on a Linux system, I still think it's a good idea to replace sh with bash. Another point to consider is that most people install who use a Bourne Shell the bash port, just like Csh users install the tcsh port. I think fewer people would be inconvenienced by the replacement of sh with bash than by not doing so. Anyone care to comment?
