I can understand why we're trying to ensure our build system doesn't require
/bin/sh to be bash, but I think support scripts like runqemu might be a
special case.

What do other people in the community think of this? The runqemu script
isn't trivial, and it has to run in a lot of different contexts. Should we
put the time in to make it shell-agnostic, or allow it to require bash?

  1) Do not require /bin/sh to be bash
  2) It's ok, and for "right tool for the job" -reasons often prefered,
to require that development machine has also bash installed.

  So I'm happy with how runqemu currently has #!/bin/bash shebang. It
requires bash to be present, but not necessarily as /bin/sh

I don't mind it using bash as long as it has bash-isms. Note, the recent =~ stuff didn't work on my machine, even with bash.
