But that would require overturning the current plan of record for
/bin/sh for Nevada (and therefore Indiana). That plan keeps /bin/sh
Bourne Shell, and relies on the plan laid out in the OpenSolaris GNU
Project (aka ARC case 2007/047) for dealing (excellently IMO) with the
widespread GNU/Linux expectations (bash by default, as Tim has been
pointing out) and ksh93 expectations.

And in my opinion, attacking the problem as described above, *is* new
and better (than "Linux" or whatever).
