I think one should not publish any shell scripts any more except for
the most trivial cases.

Shell code just is hard to read, not portable between systems at all,
has very bad error handling, is hard to impossible to test, in short
unmaintainable. This gets even worse if you use only POSIX features.

My 2 cents
