Good question!
1. FreeBSD (which is a downstream consumer of OFED to some degree)
doesn't come with /bin/bash for licensing reasons.
2. Some Linux distro configs (thinking of busy box, etc) don't use bash
because it's too bloated to include in the base image; they use dash (the
parent shell which was ash from FreeBSD), mksh, etc instead.
The goal was to use portable idioms so POSIX capable bourne shells
could use the scripts.
Thanks!
