Not only that, but it allows to say that we have a ksh in the base
system, which for a lot of commercial unix shops is quite an important 
feature these days.

To be frank, I think that pdksh is definitely something that we should 
be looking at for that reason alone.  If we import it into the tree
and leave it installed as /bin/ksh, then people can test it at their
leisure to see if it is worth replacing /bin/sh, and we also gain a
ksh.  It's a good situation.
