Oh, I love to argue. No denying that. I just have this inability to keep 
quiet when I see something I think is wrong. :-)

By the way, I can build static binaries all day long. It's not hard. But 
I still find the concept of a "default" shell a bit weird. I've never 
seen problems using whatever shell I personally prefer, no matter what 
shells were already installed or not, and they have never been in the 
way of installing whatever other software needed, so I find the claim 
that you stick to bash in Linux because of some problem just super weird.
