It's basically for users like yourself to decide. The script will only
live if people are using it and maintaining it.

I think the "local" was a recent addition, I don't recall the script not
working on any specific platform.
That can be fixed easily.

I recall objections for this script to being a bash script only on this
list not too long ago. I think it was because
bash is not always installed, not sure. I'd rather see the script be
fixed to work for the largest number of users.

BTW, I pushed your patch a couple of days ago, thanks.
