No, the bash 4 only construct is appending:
$ foo&>> bar
Redirs of the form&>, which a *single*>, are fully functional in bash 3.2
I have tested and it looks like this has always worked in bash. Testing
v3.0 on an old FC3 install showed no issues. I can only assume there
must be some bug in it for the comment in [1] to be made, but until we
strike it, I think there is no need to patch these out.
