What?  I can't even parse that.  Could you provide a little context so I
can know what "I" decided?  Or which arguments you could have made "before"
"I" "decided" it?

BSD Unix has shipped with /bin/csh as root's shell since at least 4.1 (I
appear to be unable to read my 3BSD tape).  Changing it because one (or a few,
or even many) developers grew up on System V and find csh unfamiliar is a
crock of smelly brown goo.

It's Net *BSD*.  If you want System V, you know where to find it.
