What are mksh's advantages/disadvantages compared with the existing /bin/sh.
Personally, I don't see the point of a 3rd shell in the base system.

>And make it the default root shell (not necessary in one step)

Whilst I prefer /bin/sh to /bin/csh as root's shell, changing the
default would be a significant POLA violation.  My suggestion (as has
been made elsewhere) is to make the choice of root shell an install
option.
