Just to clarify this:

I suggested an option for choosing whether outside of localbase can be
written to. And we can use the default as it is now.

This had nothing to do directly with bash. It would be nice to toggle an
option that applies for all packages to not install/modify files out of
the localbase.

(I generally agree it is nice that /etc/shells -- and other system
configs -- are modified for me.)
