My understanding is we write for sh from 1978 because every *nix
understands the code. Zones and other Sun servers default to that
shell. Every admin I know changes the shell on Sun servers, but code
written for that ancient sh works on bash, csh, and ksh so the purpose
is more about being generic than the zones server.
