Good point, but that only applies if bash can become as broken as how you imagine it. I had tested many development versions of bash and none of them became that unusable, especially if it only comes to simple scripts like eselect. It's even more unlikely to happen with incremental releases (beta, rc, etc.). -- konsolebox
