[oi-dev] Latest ksh93 changes in illumos-gate have impacts on REQUIRED_PACKAGES

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

It would help if Andreas clarified which "latest ksh93 changes in illumos-gate" are of interest.

Is there something in the latest ksh93 changes that is of interest to OpenIndiana ?

For example, security fixes in ksh93 (/bin/sh) could be very important.
