Or a larger number than one. I know _for sure_ that there's a lot of sysadmin scripts out there on RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora that start with #!/bin/sh and then are full of bashisms. This is probably terrible, but it's been that way and worked fine for since before Fedora existed, so here we are. Like all such change, that doesn't mean we _can't_ do it, but it means we're asking users and admins to pay a price, and we should always make sure that they're getting their metaphorical money's worth -- and that we do everything we can to reduce the pain. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
