And why would we want to remove (pd)ksh from NetBSD? David Korn has said
that pdksh is closer to real ksh than any of the other clones out there,

Also, the current freely-useable ksh is much bigger than pdksh as it also
includes wksh and a bunch of other stuff including a few more shared libraries.
