I claim it is more compatible.

I'd consider it a non-RC bug if someone were manually writing
#!/usr/bin/sh
We can debate about normal vs minor.
I do not think it should be a bug if some automated build process found
/usr/bin/sh and stuck that into a script.
I'd support a policy change to make that clear.
