I think he wants to know why we use 'sh' instead of one
of the more popular shells.

Just FYI csh _is_ available in the base system as /bin/csh, and we
use our 'sh' because afaik it's the only thing available under BSDL
that satisfies our standards.  zsh would be nifty (BSDL + 'sh like')
but afaik it doesn't aim to be a complete 'sh' replacement.
