You're loosing me here. bash is not a part of BusyBox, and neither is ksh93. 
Again, how would using ksh93 rather than bash same space with that?

I'm having a hard time drawing a line between these two...other than both are 
software.;-)

Is what you're proposing an addition of some type of BusyBox based shell, and 
ksh93 being your preference? If so, I don't think that's a good idea, since 
you would need to call BusyBox to use the shell, and suspect that calling one 
large binary that includes the base system programs in it every time the 
shell is needed, might not render the most optimal results. This is just my 
first thought, off the top of my head.
