Updating Bash

[Jerry]

I understand that there seems to be some reluctance to updating the
"shells/bash" port until after the release of FreeBSD-9.0 at some
future date. I am not sure I understand the reasoning behind this
logic. If there is a problem with the newer version of Bash, currently
4.1.11 in ports with version 4.2.x currently available and the soon to
be released version of 4.3 on the horizon; wouldn't it make more sense
to find out if there is in fact a problem with this shell version prior
to the release of FreeBSD-9.0?

Bash is a commonly used shell and I cannot see what the goal of
abstaining from updating it now is? It would certainly seem that if
waiting for FBSD-9.0's release and subsequently finding out that the
newer version of Bash fails would compound fixing the problem.
