Two thoughts: I agree most of the compatibility concerns mentioned are moot, but I guess it will cause small amounts of one minor ~forward-compatibility problem: people working on Fedora hardcode new paths that won't work on other distros unless/until they follow suit. --- In late 2019 I started work on a tool for ~wrangling external shell script dependencies to help us package shell better in the nix ecosystem. (the tool itself is generic, but it's currently only packaged for nix.) The main goal is to identify external dependencies in a ~source script, require them to be specified/present, and output a rewritten script with absolute paths. It handles existing hardcoded paths by treating them as an error that the user has to address by either telling it to just resolve them as if they were bare, or to keep as-is.
