Knut,
Sorry for the late reply...your questions were already answered
accurately by others (thanks).
I've re-opened your RFE 646407 with the new Synopsis
*sh* migrate /bin/sh to ksh93
which does not make reference to when this RFE will be integrated.
Thanks,
April

> bourne
> Description
> Based on the earlier discussion about the migration of /bin/ksh I'm
> proposing to migrate /bin/sh to ksh93 before /bin/ksh. It may prove to
> be a simpler work with fewer political obstacles because the feature
> set of the Bourne shell is smaller than the set of features found in
> ksh88.
> Benefits:
> * ksh93 as /bin/sh would provide a POSIX compatible shell
> * Greater interoperability with other operating systems, including Linux
> * Greater flexibility in script development
> * Reduced maintenance requirements (only one code base instead of two
> needs to be maintained)
> * The project would prepare the path for the larger /bin/ksh migration project
> The Bourne shell is lacking POSIX conformance and common extensions
> available on other operating systems makes it a challenge to port even
> simple applications to Solaris.
> This is multiplied by the problem that /bin/sh is the default shell
> for system calls such as popen(3c) and system(3c) or utilities like
> make(1) which cannot be changed to another shell based on a system
> wide tunable or other "easy" solutions to work around the limitations
> of the Bourne shell.
> ksh93 is open source and will be readily available in Solaris as
> /usr/bin/ksh93 soon, allowing community members to contribute fixes,
> resulting in a better quality default shell for Solaris.
> In addition to many new features, a couple problems already described
> in the Sun bug database are fixed in ksh93, including:
> * Bug ID: 4088172 *sh* request to have /usr/bin/sh be a POSIX shell
> * Bug ID: 6378708 *sh* could implement non-conflicting posix syntax
> * Bug ID: 6398988 /bin/sh should support $(), just like POSIX
