[arch] Shells

[Patrick Leslie Polzer]

Hello,

I'd like to discuss a difficult topic without starting a religious debate.
Arch and most, if not all, other distributions (rescue CDs exempt) use bash
as the default shell. I wonder especially why Arch does this.

zsh is a superset of bash and much more powerful.
fish is probably bash-compatible to a sane extent and very user-friendly and
fast.

So why stick to bash? Arch could excel in this issue, too, by installing
zsh or fish as default in / and moving bash to /usr as an optional package.

Kind regards,

Leslie
