Sorry, we can't change this for three reasons. |

|
| 11 |
First, it's a retroactive change to an older EAPI. We don't have the |
| 12 |
authority to do that. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Second, the bash version decision was made by the Council, not us. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Third, changing it breaks sourcing done by older, Council-approved EAPI |
| 17 |
compliant package managers. We can't do this, and we can't even do it |
| 18 |
on an EAPI bump. |

The solution here's to fix the tree. |
