This line of thinking seems a bit silly to me. We have a long
discussion documenting the dynamic root concept, and how it was
deemed important that /bin/sh be dynamic to support NSS and other
reasons.
Now someone wants the same thing in bash, and commit-freeze is going
to stop it from happening?
Sounds like the core team, or re, or someone needs to decide which
is more important. If NSS is so important redoing the whole root
is important, then I sure think any and all shells installed by
ports should support the same features. If, on the other hand it's
not important for Bash then why in the heck are we doing it for the
root?
I'm done arguing for either side of this issue, but I will argue for
consistency until I'm blue in the face.
