Is it worth considering using Dash as the default (non-interactive)
shell in Fedora?  Other distributions including Ubuntu and Debian
(https://lwn.net/Articles/343924/) have been using dash as the default
shell and Android uses mksh.  While this appears to have been done
primary to increase bootup efficiency (which is not relevant with
systemd), it might help with security

More bashism's in .spec files:
+ pushd src
/tmp/rpm/rpm-tmp.047Jay: 43: /tmp/rpm/rpm-tmp.047Jay: pushd: not found

All the other things aside, I think it'd be fine for us to leave bash
as the
shell for spec file scripts even if we changed /bin/sh and/or the root
shell.


Yeah, I'm wondering if an rpm bug is in order here now to explicitly use
/bin/bash.
