No. No, I havent. I also don't claim that I know all the warts and issues with our old hus, but for the ones I am aware the woraround usually splitting complex or nested expressions into a sequence of simpler steps. I cannot remember any cases where the resulting code should be incompatible to a shell without that specific bug. And yes, I am aware of the problems with the distro_bootcmd stuff. Thisis exactly what I had in mind when I wrote: if you run into such situations you should lean back and reflect a bit. I can undrstand the intentions of all this stuff, but the implementation is a horrible mess. > I'm just > saying I expect there to be enough risk-adverse groups that just > dropping our old hush entirely might not be possible right away.

There is only one way to test this.
