The introduction of additional bashisms is something I'm not sold

Well, it seems that most of the concern about bashisms has to do with
the code that ends up on the initrd. Making that code strictly
posix is
probably a good thing.
There is no real benifit in having the initrd generating code be
strictly posix, IMHO. It could be written in C, python, haskell, or
INTERCAL.
Good point. I admit my comment was a knee-jerk reaction from reading
the first post without having read the whole patchset.
Well, this patchset does introduce bashisms in init. I have another
that takes them out at the same time it adds three hook points. More
details later.
