I believe your note is somewhat out of date. 4.x at least as far back as
4.1 has had /bin/csh (actually statically linked tcsh) as the default shell 
for root. (But you possibly still end up with sh if you boot into single 
user mode.)

I don't know about 5.x, but would be a little surprised if the default has
reverted to sh.
