I've tried zsh a few times and liked many of the changes, but to make
it default (I'm not against that), we'd have to make defaults that are
very much like bash: keyboard controls for things (e.g. deleting from
cursor to beginning/end of line), searching the history, etc.  A nice
MOTD when logging in pointing to a "zsh crash course for bash users"
would be ideal.

If these types of things can't be done, I don't think we should change
the default.  And we should definitely keep bash installed by default,
given that a lot of scripts look for it.
