Arch cannot realistically switch away from bash as long as both its package management depends on it for both package creation and package management tasks.
But we can switch away from using bash as /bin/sh.
Uhm, okay. But let me throw this in: Bash is actively developped, the patch for CVE-2014-{6271,7169} was on my system before I even learned about these problems. Despite that I'm still not convinced as to why the issue in question is such a big deal, I must say it's unlikely we're better off with a less active, less used shell. cheers! mar77i
