There appears to be growing support for the next generation of ksh.

https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1470

We already have ksh93 and ksh93-devel. Current thinking is to copy rename 
ksh93 to a new name in line with the new project, whatever they decide. 
ksh93-devel will be copied to a new ksh<something>-devel, tracking the new 
project while ksh93-devel itself  will revert back to the AT&T 2020/02/08 
rebase. That leaves ast-ksh which IMO should be renamed back to ksh93.

The todo at the moment is to see what the community decides. But this is 
currently my thinking about this.
