You have your heads up. :) /bin/sh wasn't kosher and it was fixed. Now if there's any third party application (or even scripts part of base) that need fixing, that's another story. Users with no shell scripting knowledge should ask the list wether or not their latest bug is related to this and/or submit a PR. locate.mklocatedb has been fixed, as was the mysql-server startup script. There is really no other way to fix those scripts (IMO) than to just make sh spew a parse error and force people to fix their scripts.
