Idea to replace sh with bash, pdksh, ksh, zsh ... whatever (take your peek) has
been beaten do death on these mailing lists already. And general consensus is
that it is remarkably BAD idea. Please do some research in mailing lists
archives before posting...

I hope there is not a chance in a hell that bash will ever be considered for
inclusion into the base source tree. Apart from it's poor sh compatibility and
unnecessary code bloat it is also under GPL which hardly qualifies it for an
inclusion as primary shell into BSD system. What's wrong with bash in ports
anyway?
