Would I recommend anyone to switch /bin/sh? Hell, no! I personally would even go as far and block every alternative in the distribution - but with bash blocking /bin/sh there is not even a way for experiments without breaking your system integrity.
I'd find this acceptable if reviewers *vow* not to let another shell providing a "/bin/sh" alternative enter the official factory repo for some time to come (a year, say). That would open up the possibility for adventurous people to experiment with other shells in their projects, without overriding factory's bash package. Then, if someone can prove that their project is doing well and perhaps even build times are reduced because of the faster speed of their alternative shell, we could re-evaluate the whole thing.
