I think it should be /bin/sh because standard is better than better.
They are producing gratuitous system differences for no good reason.

And that is also why I don't understand the move from /bin/* to
/usr/bin/* and the same for lib and others.  That makes the "usr" part
completely useless.  It would be better to move everything from
/usr/bin/* up to /bin/* instead and the same for lib and the others.
I think they are moving things in the wrong direction.  The primary
location is /bin and /usr/bin was simply the secondary overflow
location.  But now they have lost the primary location and only have
the secondary.  That is the wrong direction.

But of course this is a topic for other places not here.  Sigh.
