That would be an excellent argument for adding a copy in the root filesystem
as part of the case that makes wordexp() call ksh93, but I thought that was
not going to happen until a future case, not as part of this case.
(Just to be clear to all those not familiar with the ARC process - even if this
review decides not to provide /sbin/ksh93 as this case, that doesn't prevent a
future case from doing so when it has a good reason, such as replacing the
libc
wordexp() function. ARCs understand times change, projects progress, and
user
expectations evolve, and adapt as needed.)
