You seem to be suggesting that having ‘dash’ as the default interactive login shell is preferred. I don't think that's true. If I understand correctly, the proposal is very much *not* about making ‘dash’ the default interactive login shell for the installed system, but instead about making ‘dash’ the default implementation of ‘/bin/sh’. -- \ “If you see an animal and you can't tell if it's a skunk or a | `\ cat, here's a good saying to help: ‘Black and white, stinks all | _o__) right.
