I don't follow the logic or see the goal.  Depending on bash is not a
problem for the GNU system.

Your change has the wrong semantics because find will call stat and
activate translators.  If you don't understand how remove_translator works
differently than your find command, please read up on translators.

When presuming modern shells (which we are, i.e. at least POSIX), both of
these always work fine.  There is no substantive reason to prefer one over
the other, but most people go with [ ... ].  If we were to change it, I'd
rather change them all to [ ... ].  But I see no reason to bother changing
anything now.  The existing code works fine and is easy enough to read.
