I agree! Nothing I said was really to do with how scripts should be written, it's about how they are and how they have been written for decades at this point. People would be better served by not using which, and using something portable.

None of that helps this specific situation at all, which seems to have been poorly thought out in that it had the possibility of negatively affect many people, and not just the developers/admins who write scripts, but those that use what other people have written.

It's important to strive for chance for the better, but it's also important to see the world for how it actually is and what happens if that change happens all at once, which can (hopefully temporarily) be worse than what came before.
