It's not terrible from my perspective; I mostly don't want to pass on
pain to documentation and support without their buy-in.
(We do have some serious bugs in our bash support which would need to be
ironed out before any kind of transition. That mostly hasn't happened
because bash support hasn't been a priority for us; it was the pet
project of a developer who left years ago. It's probably not a great
deal of work.)
