Think we should switch in 14+. My main argument is that shell one-liners in documentation are almost always written in Bourne syntax. I believe the fact that we're an outlier is confusing the sort of new users we hope to attract with thinks like Raspberry-pi and cloud images. As a long-time user, it even trips me up when I do some work on a FreeBSD box after spending most of my time on other systems. -- Brooks --/NkBOFFp2J2Af1nK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJhTON1AAoJEKzQXbSebgfAt+cH/A/z3/FT7hMIMFbumlo8sbML 9xqGsGC3nsh7oUbtqUn9tRlD1zfh5NnSZ1WyNF6f+L8s01gDBRAm1kndwAajB3Kb K2Zga+B0kVHNACDUAKcZsMJgoQY6TRF4JlhX77dAp9NPb7HWQAQ4c0IKwgVLyy7O 77vPXQXhQeJE4HasF6EY8QrUZJhKePh6SZ1d67dBQpkyfOta2R4oKM7ez8rMZ3OE aUJ/1KhxYzeELJsepP6st60jxzE5hZ6MX/vOIQ2JftF5paTCqPKkP0xi8nGOrHBF MF8iblgMiGLHCtS9CofFQknIwp1uNz7y7YWPy6NjcfNgySwl8+F4nBNnJ7zRBks= =0fIT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --/NkBOFFp2J2Af1nK--
