In that case you are no longer allowed to update bash or ksh. Never
ever again. Freeze bash, freeze ksh and disallow any updates because
this involves the extremely large risk that users run into new
defaults set by upstream.

Do you see how silly this is? The upstream authors provide built in
defaults and Solaris can set defaults in /etc/bash.bashrc and
/etc/ksh93.kshrc, overriding the built in defaults. Both are vendor
defaults.
