Hi,

Would there be any interest in either replacing shells/pdksh with 
shells/ksh as our default ksh dependency? Or Uses/ksh.mk to select a 
default ksh for ports?

The reason I ask is, shells/ksh has its lineage from the original AT&T ksh 
(shells/ksh93) and is being actively developed (see shells/ksh-devel). 
shells/ksh upstream is also the ksh imported into and used by CDE 
(x11/cde*).

My position is, I'd prefer a Uses/ksh.mk. If people are interested, I'm 
willing to put this task on my todo list.
