> Want to see Bash imported?? if that's what it takes to stop the "::".

I'm sorry, but I don't see the tone of this comment as being
consistent with the "developer relations" section of the handbook.

Bikesheds about filename separators are one thing; bikesheds
about duelling shell imports are quite another.  The former
might or might not produce a working consensus; the latter
is completely doomed from the outset.

Please, let's keep this to the filename-separator problem.

My own personal opinion?  Unless we want to thrash the CVS
repository really, really, hard, and force a lot of people
to upgrade ports because of portrevision bumps, we ought
to let this sleeping dog lie.

But I'm not in a position to make policy on the issue, and
other people's mileage may vary.
