{{{
I am against including *any* patches from bash upstream unless the patch
is security related.

You can't only include security related patches on bash, as a working sh
is a requirement to build mostly anything.
I know there is 38 patches for 4.0, 10 for 4.1 and already 8 for 4.2.
Would you qualify 4.2p1, 4.2p3 or 4.2p4 of security patches or FTBS fix
for other packages?
{{{
It is basically asking us to continuously update to the latest development
version.
}}}
Wrong. Bash development model is not to accumulate patches until the next
version. Patches are made following bugs report.
