Think we should switch in 14+.

My main argument is that shell one-liners in documentation are almost
always written in Bourne syntax.  I believe the fact that we're an
outlier is confusing the sort of new users we hope to attract with
thinks like Raspberry-pi and cloud images.  As a long-time user, it even
trips me up when I do some work on a FreeBSD box after spending most of
my time on other systems.
