No. If it was, users who disdain Bourne shells (like sh, ksh, zsh, and
the ever-popular bash) for whatever reason (and the reasons are myriad,
IMO) wouldn't be able to log in. This was alluded to in my post wherein
I mentioned that sh probably wouldn't be able to read the .cshrc file
(depending upon what you've placed in it).

Unix is user friendly. However, it isn't idiot friendly.
