After discussions with the OpenSolaris architect and lead, I withdraw
this case. It was premature and will be revised as part of a bigger
project to provide Solaris modernization using GNU utilities for /usr/bin.

Repeated deny of repository access. Repeated.
The ksh team is merely needed to do bug fixing for ksh until the team

Bug fixes in ksh93, its libraries, and previously converted utilities are
all welcome.

to share, I will pass that information along.
