I would note that one of the only UN*Ces that uses ksh93 as its core shell (default scripting shell) is Solaris. I would request that Solaris be borne in mind as a either a primary focus, or as a first class citizen.
We do actively maintain and use ksh93, and would appreciate seeing its development continue, and a Git repository would go a substantial way to doing this - we do have some bug-fixes that we have been unable to upstream due to the current situation, and would appreciate any progress!
