Comment 95 for bug 61463

Since so many people against this change have chimed in with a "me too!" comment, I'd also like to voice my opinion.

Thank you so much for making this change, and for not caving in under pressure to reverse it. Standards are extremely important to me. Anything that pushes developers to be more standards compliant is a big plus for everyone. The number of scripts that claim to only need /bin/sh but really need bash has certainly decreased greatly because of this change, and this situation will only continue to improve.

Software that tries to conform with the wild is doomed to become a festering pile of buggy spaghetti code. Tough decisions like these are needed to prevent software from degrading into an incomprehensible mess of hacks, workarounds, and maintained legacy bugs.
