What about text files like manual pages ? Currently we ship the
_original_ ksh93 manual page to have this part of the documentation
exactly 1:1 in sync with the code (while the official Solaris ksh93
manual page is a derived version with various changes and usually laggs
behind the actual status of the code). Does this fall under the same
category as the "text files" waiver or is a seperate explanation needed
?

What about sources which are currently not used but will be used later ?
For example there is "shcomp.c" in the ksh93-integration tree (and the
exception list) which is used with a later putback (it was obmitted from
the original putback since the shell script compiler may need something
like "javaexec" which recognizes compiled shell code and runs it using
ksh93 and the whole thing may be another extra-large ARC case... ;-( )
