I don't understand why you want to keep ksh88 around. Could you
explain why you want to keep 20 year old and unmaintained software
around? After reading lots of community messages I think the opinion
outside Sun is that /bin/ksh and /bin/sh need to be updated ASAP.
Otherwise Indiana will not be able to compete with other open source
operating system projects such as Linux.
