Guys, please stop this witch hunt. If you don't trust bash, then get rid of it,
but don't forget that:
---
$ head -n1 /usr/bin/mkinitcpio
#!/bin/bash

So, yes ArchLinux core tools use and will continue to use 'bashisms' because
they are convenient. The bugs which started this discussion are not a big deal
anyway. They will only affect scripts that don't properly sanitize the input.
Such scripts have bigger problems to worry about IMHO. The SSH-related issue is
also insignificant because the bug will be triggered post-auth...
Cheers,
