With sh gaining set -o pipefail, I am curious about having sh require (or encourage) enabling this option by default. it would help to catch a lot of false negatives in deceptively simple scripts.
No. This would break a large body of existing scripts, and it's not the purpose of the standard. Any implementation can choose to default it to enabled, of course.
