That's an entirely different conversation. I'm just saying you can have bash as the default interactive shell without impacting system performance or boot time.

But since you brought it up, it's not like ash-as-interactive-shell comes without its own support problems.

It'd be much simpler for some fine community member (yourself, perhaps) to put together a small package and upload it to Extras.
FYI, that's a solved problem: bash packages are already available both in Extras and in the SDK repository, and the Extras one comes with a simple tool (bash-setup) to change your default interactive shell.
