It astonishes me that the reason for the switch is claimed to be a licensing version detail.  I understand that there's no one left in the cockpit at bash, would that not be a better reason?  Even now I can't quite accept that something as essential to computing as the shell should be treated so casually.  So it's zsh from now on, but even then all this will rest on the shoulders of our few intrepid volunteers?   Dunno, if that's the way the world works then that's the way the world works but it is very strange.  Sorta like going to the local nuclear power plant and finding that there's no  one there but a few volunteers and one day no one will even know how the place works but the city will still be expecting safe, reliable electricity.
