13 What, pointing out that the entire argument is bogus? It's kinda like
14 this:
15
16 Bash is Gentoo's primary shell. ZSH cannot be included in the tree as
17 the primary shell unless it can work with every bash shell script
18 (including ebuilds) without any changes (including paths and
19 environment variables) to anything. ZSH cannot be included in the tree
20 as a secondary shell if it can be used to do anything that Bash can do,
21 including generating the .bash_history file. ZSH cannot be included in
22 the tree if it has any features that Bash does not.
23
24 However, you are allowed to use ZSH to display a picture of an ASCII
25 cow, because Bash doesn't do that at the moment.
