Using dash as /bin/sh was introduced to solve some specific problems.
Which unsolved problems would using these other shells as /bin/sh
solve that is not solved already by using dash?  I am not aware of any
such problems, and unless some problem can be solved by replacing
/bin/sh by for example posh and ksh93, I see no reason to increase the
complexity of the solution selected to handle /bin/sh to cater for
those that want to do this.

Happy hacking,
