With commit of tcsh, I'd like to raise another question.  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?
