Are you building scripts for the Debian distro? Given that they already include bash and actually support it for interactive use, what would be the issue for you scripting using bash? I am sure that the experience of moving to dash wasn't fun at all. But users in general are not affected that much as far as I understand.

I'm maintaining a bunch of core Linux packages which have had to make many adjustments over years for dealing with this Debian nonsense. I can see no justification for it since Fedora is using bash just fine and doesn't have to deal with this.

I definitely feel great sympathy for your position.
