5 years with 2 release cycles didn't change much apart from removed
bashisms. It's still uncertain whether another 2 cycles will be
enough to achieve that goal. I'm beginning to doubt mainstream Debian
will have bash out of essential in my lifetime (63yo). A possible
solution is a new set of essential packages, implying a fork.
The point of my aside you kindly jumped on was while doing a fork
don't forget to remove bash from essential.
Thanks
