Woah! Changing the root shell wasn't mentioned in the change description, has nothing to do with fixing r337849, and is a *HUGE* POLA violation. At the very least, a change of this magnitude needs public discussion, and even if the community agreed, it would also require an UPDATING message and relnote.

Please revert this change to master.passwd immediately.
