I took a look through our scripts, and Bash is used in a handful of development tools. /bin/sh is used by everything under bin/ and tools/bin. I wouldn’t want to change a user-facing dependency unless there’s a solid reason, but I think it’s fine for CircleCI tooling to use Bash instead of /bin/sh.
