My _guess_ is that this comes from a platform like Solaris, where /bin/sh 
is not even POSIX.  And I'd expect aggregate-results to use some 
non-trivial shell constructs which break with such a broken shell.

But I completely agree, the commit message desperately wants to include 
some justification.
