 From my own experiences merely trying to runit as a user shell, and not 
de-installing bash, I believe you ... I finally had to give it up as a 
bad job, and I'm known as a somewhat stubborn person, so that should 
tell you the level of problems I faced.  Linux works only if you make 
their choices, just like their license.
