There are reasons though, because any scripts that you specify with !#/bin/bash as the interpreter will run the old 3.2.57 version shipped with Mac OS, so you can't use newer features like associative arrays with scripts without manually changing the interpreter, which sucks from a portability point of view. I would love to relink /bin/bash to a more modern version instead.

It's important to appreciate that there are both forward and reverse incompatibilities, so it is preferable for each script to nominate (via its #! line) exactly which version of Bash it needs.
