I noticed this being added a few weeks ago:

Anyone knows how supported is this / when is it going to get switched on by default?
It is as supported as anthing else in Tumbleweed. Using dash as default doesn't make any sense, this would only mean one more shell beside bash and increasing the system without benefit
One user could use dash because it's significantly faster than bash, so having it as default shell will have a faster boot and/or system theorically. In practice the difference is negligible, assuming dash being 1~2s faster at best.
10 years ago when everyone was using sysvinit and large number of shell scripts were launched at boot the difference was probably far larger then now when most things are done via systemd without launching a bunch of shell scripts. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
