But sufficient for administration tasks in maintenance mode.
It's not that you spend hours of dialog sessions in SUM.
Remember: It's a worst case scenario. If everything fails,
the /bin/sh still works, and it helps you get things working
again.

It's not that I would like to use sh as a dialog shell, there
are definitely better ones. But it's the system's standard
scripting shell, and sufficient for recovering a defective
system.

That's a completely valid solution - better than just chsh
and then trouble. :-)
