It would only be a dumb move if neither the shell nor the linked
libraries were on the root filesystem.  I've been using dynamically
linked tcsh and bash as the root shell for over a decade with no
problems.  Splitting /usr onto a separate filesystem, however, can be a
dumb move if you're not restricted to 1GB drives.
