Uhm, okay. But let me throw this in: Bash is actively developped, the
patch for CVE-2014-{6271,7169} was on my system before I even learned
about these problems. Despite that I'm still not convinced as to why
the issue in question is such a big deal, I must say it's unlikely
we're better off with a less active, less used shell.
cheers!
