Well, I appreciate Alan taking the time to share more details about the

Not everyone will agree with the change, but then shells have always been
controversial in the UNIX world, and it looks like there were sounds reasons
behind it.

When you create a new user via the OmniOS installer, ksh is there in the list
of shells you can choose, and you can easily change root's shell if you want.
