I would argue that ideally if bash is run as "/bin/sh" that nothing
beyond the POSIX "/bin/sh" specification should function, that is no
bash extensions should work. This could be accomplished by making bash
limit itself based on the running name (making this a Bash Group
problem) or simply using a non-bash limited POSIX only "/bin/sh" (making
this a RedHat problem). I would think the later would be far more simple
than the former.

That is of course if anyone cares, because outside Thilo (who brought it
up in the first place) no one seems to have much interest in the idea.
