I am against including *any* patches from bash upstream unless the patch is security related.
You can't only include security related patches on bash, as a working sh is a requirement to build mostly anything.
I know there is 38 patches for 4.0, 10 for 4.1 and already 8 for 4.2. Would you qualify 4.2p1, 4.2p3 or 4.2p4 of security patches or FTBS fix for other packages?
It is basically asking us to continuously update to the latest development version.
Wrong. Bash development model is not to accumulate patches until the next version. Patches are made following bugs report.
