Yes, thanks much for that.

Thinking about it a little more, I think what I should do is to
introduce a separate mawk-1.3.4 package that also Provides: awk and
can be installed alongside gawk and mawk 1.3.3.

That way, interested sysadmins could try out the new version and send
feedback without disrupting installations that are still relying on
the existing version.

Steve, does that make sense to you?  I'd make an effort to let you
know about any important fixes I run into that also seem applicable to
1.3.3.

Thanks,
Jonathan
