Build 51 closed on October 16th.  We're on build 54 now -- open until
November 27th.

That's not strictly true.

There's no reason at all that /usr/bin/ksh couldn't deliver from some
other consolidation, either now or in the future.  In fact, I think
it'd be really nice if it did, because we could delete a bunch of
bloat from ON.

Don't confuse either delivery location (/usr/bin) or stability or some
notion of "goodness" with consolidation.  Things that go in a
consolidation are things that share build rules, extensive private
interfaces, and patch construction.  If it doesn't look like that,
then it doesn't need to be the same consolidation.

Of course, following the same rules (regardless of where you go) might
be a helpful bit of discipline.
