Re: [proposal] make dash the default shell for boot scripts

I know very little about the intricacies of initscripts, however my take on this:
instead of 'proposing' what should be done and why, go ahead, port over the initscripts, get a stable booting system, post a PKGBUILD: then we can see for ourselves how wonderful dash initscripts are...

Re: [proposal] make dash the default shell for boot scripts

I think there's a patch about, but it's just a stupid idea.

Regarding /bin/sh -> /bin/bash -- changing that won't affect the initscripts at all as they're all shebang'ed with #!/bin/bash and will run with bash regardless of what /bin/sh points to.
