I wouldn't say we are totally safe changing root's default shell away
from /bin/csh.  We still see people give the advice that one should not
change root's default shell.

We could default to only /bin/sh as the login shell globally.
'csh', 'zsh', 'bash' aren't very hard to type once you are logged in.
