The difficult bit for argumentative people to grasp is that the Go Team use features that are portable across bourne-like shells, they just refuse to commit to that level of compatibility. On the one hand, requiring Bash gives them a reliable grounding and on the other if they slip up and use an advanced feature the entire castle doesn't come tumbling down on their head. Putting it another way, they use Bash specifically to minimise this type of argumentative bike-shedding. ++L
