Hi Guillaume,

Thanks for the comments. Actually I also considered replacing "source"
with "." at first, but finally decided to change the shebang in
consideration of being consistent with other scripts. We can see that
there are 140+ scripts in net selftests that have "source lib.sh" and
"bash" shebang, but none of the selftests has ". lib.sh". If we replace
"source" with "." and keep the "sh" shebang specifically for
unicast_extensions.sh and pmtu.sh, we will get only 2 scripts using
"sh and ." while most other scripts using "bash and source". Maybe it
would be nice to keep the consistency by changing the shebang as well?
What do you think? :)
