 What would be the real gain of it? Because actually, I don't really see
it. Especially, what's the deal with calling this severity important? If
anything it is wishlist, not?

 Can you please explain what does upset you so much about this? It's not
if bash would be any totally obscure and not available shell, it's the
default shell in most linux distributions out there and I wouldn't know
a single system that doesn't include it, and that includes cygwin for
windows.

 Thanks,
Rhonda
