Forgive me but this entire thread has been giving me a serious case of
deja-vu.  We've been down a similar path to this before, the last time
around with "ash" rather than "dash" but the arguments sound very familiar.
Brian Dessent has a nice summary a paragraph into his response below:

https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2008-03/msg00369.html

Now this was "ash" and not "dash" and the actual transition from "bash" to
"ash" and back again occurred well over 10 years ago, so allot of things
have changed for sure.  But I bring this up because I think the parallels
are there.  Since making a change of this magnitude is going to be an
undertaking, we should be sure we're going to see the intended benefits
before enduring the pain such a change would bring, though hopefully that
pain would be short-lived and/or minor. :-)
