I never said that rc(1) was perfect. I'm all for rewriting it, and
fixing bugs. I'm not for breaking its syntax, though. It makes far more
sense to leave rc as rc(1) and to write a new shell which deals with the
shortcomings of rc. This is not comprable to writing a new os, and it
gives us far more freedom. If the Inferno people had decided to 'update'
mash instead of writing sh(1), it would have been grossly unfortunate,
because Inferno's shell is probably the best shell I've come across.
And if rc is to have such a massive revamping, there's no good reason to
keep calling it rc.
