I don't like this change much. We don't know what shell /bin/sh is on
a random users system - much better to be explicit and make sure we
use/require bash.
I expect this change to cause pain for users who have zsh, csh, ksh,
ash or some other shell as /bin/sh but also have /bin/bash available.
Previously things would just work, but now it will possibly break due
to using a different shell.
