I'm not sure I follow the logic -- the 'if' doesn't seem to match up
with the 'then' in any of the cases you list -- but this is beside the
point.

Suppose someone creates a usable /sbin/ksh93: one that is able to run
when /usr isn't mounted and that can run even when root is read-only.

The question becomes what such a binary would be good for.  None of
the current scripts are written assuming ksh93, and this project
doesn't propose rewriting any of them to use ksh93.

Lacking that, and with /usr/bin/ksh93 usable for all other purposes,
there doesn't seem to be a reason to have /sbin/ksh93 on the system.
