What so wrong with bash? Apart from the fact that its not included in
the unmodified base system of FreeBSD? Last I checked, we add lots of
Gentooish stuff already. And that its not friendly to tiny embedded
systems, which dont use a complex and powerful init system like Gentoo's
(but prefer very simple ash scripts).
