I agree with everything except for this part. The root's shell in BSD has always been csh for as long as I can remember, and it will violate POLA to change it now. (This is from a person who will immediately run bash in single-user mode if /usr/local is available and sh -E if it is not, so don't take it as a csh crusade.) Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "default new-user shell" but if you leave the shell part empty in the password entry for a new user, he will get sh. This has also been the behavior of BSD for as long as I can remember (and it probably goes back to the single Unix days) and obviously doesn't need any changing either.
