Even if it would mean to go with bash?
Solaris was one of the worst platforms for making grub-install work
there due to its very limited shell and standard tools behaving
differently. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if it got broken for
solaris again.
I see Solaris as one of platforms which can benefit a lot from this move.

bash is always installed on Solaris 11 onwards (11.1 is when it moved from legacy GRUB to GRU2) - not least of which because it is root's login shell.
