Well, we have 0.5 behind us, and it's time to start looking forward
again. If we are going to continue saying that the distro is bash based,
we should start making it bash based. Right now only the package
management and installer are done in bash, and a package management
system does not a distro make.

Perhaps we should be making the core parts of the distro in bash, init
for one. In addition, we need tools for modifying the system, runlevel
editors, X configuration, and hardware setup come to mind right now and
I'm sure there are many others.

I suppose writing scripts in bash to duplicate functionality we already
have by using other apps is a little too far (ie wget replacement
written in bash). But it is something to think about to see how far we
can push things.
