Just look at what happened to bash and bash2. Sure, some people use bash2 for the added features - most people still havent bothered even though it is their most used application. It's just not worth the PITA to upgrade.
hmm? most people will use what ever their distribution provides, and that IS bash2 i don't see your point. those people that would have to upgrade don't because there is only so much of features a shell can provide.
compare to pike with improves drasticly with every release.
I'd vore for every now and then (with a major release?) dropping backwardscompability.
that is done. you don't get backwards compatibility unless you turn it on specificly.
