4.4 GA (general availability) release?
Hi folks. I feel a little guilty asking this, because I know Chet's pretty busy, and there may be plenty of good reasons to release on a regular schedule, or to release "when it's ready". But it looks like there were about 3 years between bash' 4.2 GA and 4.3 GA. Should I expect that it'll be about 3 years from 4.3 GA to 4.4 GA? Meaning 4.4 GA could be estimated as releasing around February of 2017? Thanks! PS: I've been checking for the 4.4 release pretty often. Silly of me I suppose.

An associative array / dictionary / hash is better. Consider: http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/database/

It's to the point that some people feel like if it's not on github, it's not worth looking at.
Re: List out
I'd do this like:
#!/bin/bash
python -c '
import sys
for line in sys.stdin:
fields = line.split()
count =0
for field in fields[1:]:
upper = field.upper()
print(upper)
if upper == "NA":
count += 1
print("{} {}".format(fields[0], count))
'
