It was the mid/late-90s, but I seem to recall Bourne being the default shell, although sh/ksh/csh were all available with a typical install.

I'm sure most people here know about Dash in Debian. Have there been discussions about providing a more efficient shell in Centos for use with heavily invoked non-interactive scripts?
Are there other people who have experience in this and can provide interesting guidance?
Why go to that extreme if you tell a script on line 1 which shell to
run it
will do so. #!/bin/dash or what ever shell you want it to run in. I always do that to make
sure that
the script runs as expected, if you leave it out the script will run in whatever environment it currently is in.
I'm confused here, too, and this has been bugging me for some time: why sh, when almost 20 years ago, at places I've worked, production shell scripts went from sh to ksh. It was only after I got into the CentOS world in '09 that I saw all the sh scripts again.
Wasn't Solaris, which for awhile at least, was probably the most popular Unix, using ksh by default?
