That's just a little less racy and certainly not
atomic, /usr/bin/install would be atomic. As you have said
your race point doesn't actually matter. You call it plain wrong and
admit there is nothing wrong at the same time?
There's another point, shell is easily editable and understandable and
that's a good thing and not a bad one and also one of arches values I
believe, hence pacman uses so much shell!
On occasions I have had to resort to editing shell init scripts because
I don't agree with the distro or devs. People shouldn't be forced to
Gentoo and damaging the environment.
