It's not like Ubuntu just gets dash (thanks Unix) or IRIX just gets zsh, is it?
I spent all today trawling through various Unixes and Unix-like OS's and you can't assume that because AIX doesn't come with bash it's not been added or because we all prefer ksh on Solaris and HP-UX bash isn't there either.Comment

From what I can see it reads a bit like the heartbleed thing from earlier in the year. That was a storm in a tea-cup. Checking and patching machines keeps a lot of bods in works. Worryworts such as yourself help to maintain management's need for this. Keep up the good work, your contribution to the cause is greatly appreciated.Comment
