In my opinion it would be better to make the scripts that run /bin/sh
compatible with a strict POSIX shell, removing bashisms. This is usually not
a big deal.
Not everyone running Linux will have bash as /bin/sh. For example, Debian and
derivatives have dash as /bin/sh to improve boot times and memory use.
