We cannot integrate the ksh93 code until it is approved by the ARC.
The changes we document in the PSARC case should be
a document of the interfaces being added to Solaris/Open Solaris.
It cannot be a document of interfaces we may or may not putback.
Right now, Roland & I are working with our sponsor on some issues
with aspects of what is currently proposed, some of which have
been worked out, some of which have not.
I'll post more details on the ksh93-integration-discuss mailing list.
Remember that we are looking at ksh93 as an eventual replacement to
/usr/bin/ksh, so it is different than integrating another
alternate shell that people can use if they wish. It will
replace a shell that people are already using in particular ways.
That does not mean that we cannot change anything after we putback,
but the basics have to be there to set up the correct expectations.
