I'm not entirely sure which one of these to hate, so I think I'll spread it
evenly and hate both of them.

In Bash 3.2, the syntax of regular expressions were changed. So

  if [[ $string =~ 'foo(.*)' ]] then ...

should become

  if [[ $string =~ foo(.*) ]] then ...

You can imagine how many scripts that breaks.

Well, maybe there's a justification.

Oh by the way, Ubuntu Feisty,  included an upgrade to Bash 3.2.
No warning about that in the Release Notes at
  http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/704

Oops.
