@probono, that would be so sensible because they have total control over
the scripts that they need to speed up the boot process but no control
over the scripts the rest of us use for general maintenance after
bootup. Then they could announce that they will enforce such a change to
/bin/dash in 6 or 12 months time. In the mean time they could lead an
active public campaign to enlighten upstream devs as to the folly of
their ways and provide support towards the Ubuntu goal of saving the
world from bashisms so they can adopt dash as their overall primary
shell.

However, if you have had any interaction with @sparr and the ubuntu devs
then you'll notice a very blunt response that it's *your* fault for
using bashisms on *your* systems so you need to fix *your* problem. This
is the kind of mistake that a semi-closed commercial outfit can make
where clean room techies are out of touch with the real world. The
Debian and Fedora folks would have a very hard time mandating a change
like this.
