It was part of the removal of all static libraries for core system
delivered libraries.

We have a very strong commitment to backwards compatibility in Solaris.
Nobody is forcing you or anyone else to use /bin/sh as your personal
users login shell, nor are you forced to write shell scripts in it.
This is not correct.
Writing a SMF plug in FORCES me to use /bin/sh.
Writing a script for /etc/init.d FORCES me to use /bin/sh
Changing /etc/profile FORCES me to make it /bin/sh compatible
Starting a shell from a system function like system() FORCES me to use
/bin/sh or start another shell.
Lets not make this a "my shell is better than your shell discussion" or
"shell XXX should be the default shell". OpenSolaris aliases have had
too many of those already.

That then is a Blastwave issue not an OpenSolaris one.
The Apache 1.x and Apache 2.x both delivered in Solaris Express which is
an OpenSolaris distribution do NOT use bash.

Why did you do that ?
I tried to strip my system make it small enough to fit on an USB stick.
