Is it worth considering using Dash as the default (non-interactive) shell in Fedora?
Why starting with changing target of /bin/sh? Can we start with smaller step? Like put in Packing Guidelines, that authors and maintainers of non-interactive shell scripts should use #!/usr/bin/dash rather then #!/bin/sh or #!/usr/bin/bash This change will hurt nobody. And enforce nothing. And you can slowly start persuading maintainers to change that line. Package by package. Evolution rather than revolution.
