#2That name is problematic as it's too close to an abelist slur. You should change it to something like Bashfig, Bashful, etc. to be more inclusive.

Could have called it "Baby Got Bash"

#6This is so awful. I hope nobody ever actually uses it seriously.
As a person who has less hate than most people about bash; there are better options.
I understand the frustration with ansible, with DSLs in general and the slow creep they all take to becoming proper languages with loops and conditionals- only with worse semantics than real languages.
But this isn’t the way.

#8Seems like it should use m4 instead of sed/awk for the templating. And `make` for the dependencies that will arise, eg. HUP sshd after config change.

I'm all for funny names, but giving your project a needlessly inflammatory name, to me signals that the author doesn't have an interest in working with the greater open-source community to develop it further or adopt it.

Oh, come on. It’s a lot, lot closer to bastard than retard or tard. At some point people have to own their own misperceptions.
