Really? I had quite a few scripts die on me in the Bash 3.1-3.2
change. One of the problems is complained about enough that they now
introduced a compatibility level (item l on the ChangeLog
  http://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/bash/NEWS )

But given that the ABS was last updated this year, I should say
anything in it is up-to-date enough.
