IIRC, they're trying to do this. But first they have to get rid of the bash-isms from those scripts, and from a lot of other scripts that use /bin/sh expecting it to be bash. Just out of curiousity, which important startup script has the /bin/bash? So i can watch out for it if i ever have a broken bash
