Or, in fact, you can use ash, which Linux almost always does.  :-)

The only bash that was suitable for sh was bash 1.x, as 2.x broke some of
the syntax in shell scripts, IIRC.  At some point, Linux got tired of
having two bash versions, one called bash, and one statically linked 1.x
called sh, and started using ash.  At least that's what recent RHL and
derivatives use.
