Better yet, change the POSIX standard, so that Bash is the compliant one. A guy working with me at the time helped write it (I have his memoirs on my bookshelf), it can be changed. Changing LFS to use DASH is about as daft an idea as I have ever heard here. Why don't we use Greek characters to render the book? Because English is usually rendered with Roman characters. Linux is usually developed to use Bash.
