Re: Dash as default shell

My thought is this whole topic was started as a result of the recent Bash vulnerability which has since been corrected.  Not bad for a product that has been around for decades.  Nothing against Dash, but changing a default isn't something that should be done each time the wind changes direction.  A bit of disk space savings or processing time IMO isn't a sufficient reason either. That can change quite rapidly between products and their updates.  When a default is chosen it sets up an expectation of familiarity and stability within the user community.  It shouldn't be changed unless there is an EXTREMELY compelling reason.  I've seen quite a few posts lately regarding the changing of this default or that default.  I think what gets lost in these conversations is what default status means.  People are down in the weeds and can't see the forest for the trees.
