    Yes, we can.  As people have pointed out they have switched to ash and
their systems are running perfectly fine.  So, obviously, "everything" is
*NOT* broken.

    Only some things are broken and noone knows the extend of that "some".  I
do know, however, that in the past 4-5 months I've been running ash as
/bin/sh I've not encountered anything.  So based on my personal observation
I'm inclined to say that "some" is a small enough quantity that it is
something we can handle in some future version by filing bugs against those
"some" and correct them in one manner or another.
