[arch-general] /etc/shells should keep /bin/zsh
I know arch-general si not for reporting bugs and I'm not trying to rush anyone, but it's been already a month of confusion wrt https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/zsh&id=c84d9770988fdc0f2e6c7bd5fa748d5a18580fb4 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35724

If a bug is open that long, it is likely to be closed as "Won't Fix".

I think that one reason the bug has been open so long is because it requires consensus to resolve rather than actual bug fixing. Specifically: for binaries involved in situations where the symlink does not make the transition transparent (in this case, because it's the path itself that matters in input), should they (ideally) have: a. both the old path and /usr/bin be acceptable b. only the old path be acceptable c. only the new path be acceptable I'm pretty sure nobody would argue in favour of option b preferentially. I am in favour of Arch continuing its long history of being first to deprecate and going for c as long as it doesn't pose any major technical problem.
