Already bash-5.0 has two official patches in three weeks. The first

Often that is an indication that more bugs should be expected.
The risk may be large. *EVERY* Fedora package uses bash.
rpm .spec file sections such as %build, %install, %clean, %post use /bin/sh,
and Fedora links /bin/sh -> bash. That surely is "system-wide".
+1.
Upgrading the default system shell should be treated similarly to
upgrading glibc. A System-Wide Change is definitely in order.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
