the day that dash became the default /bin/sh
Monday, 27. July 2009, 23:41:12
Yesterday morning during the talk titled "changing the default system shell," Luk Claes and I NMUed dash (with the maintainer's permission of course) so that it is becomes the default /bin/sh. Yes, we finally did it! 
To "celebrate", I took a nap right before lunch and today I had a great day during the day trip.
Those wondering what I'm going to do next: I don't know yet. I still have many items on my ToDo list in addition to continue the bashisms-hunting work, so I don't feel like promising anything.
Like I said at the end of the talk, I'd like to thank a lot of people including (but not limited to) those who at some point contributed to make the change possible, those who use dash, those who don't, the maintainers of bash and dash, and Debian in general.
