Hi! What is the current state of bug? There was fine (IMO) proposal,

	So can we have a prerm script for bash that sets the root
	shell back to /bin/sh, or at least asks the admin if they want
	zsh or tcsh, and warns about any other users?

but as bash=5.0-2 it did not make its way. What is missing? Should I
submit patch, implementing this proposal?
