You should adopt it. Actually, I think whoever adopts mksh should replace it with the real Korn shell. The whole pdksh -> mksh code path reflects the historical unavailability of the true ksh source code, but that changed in 2000.[2] [1] It’s sometimes useful to be able to compare ksh88/93 behavior to Bash and Zsh.
