Recent discussions seem to lead to a general security concern

I think the better alternative is to provide 'dash' and symlink
bash to dash instead, as dash much cleaner, faster, and POSIX -
compliant. Although, as it has not been widely used as bash
yet, could have its own bugs not yet discovered....
Unfortunately, 'dash' is not completely compatible with scripts written for
'bash'. It is not clear to my why people write shell
scripts targeting bash, but it seems to happen often.

Probably because they are coming from Linux background...
I had to leave ksh because of that ...
