Not sure if this is the correct venue for this comment, and apologies
if it's already been mentioned, but why wouldn't mksh [1] provide ksh?

This would alleviate some AUR dependency weirdness, specifically with
the oracle-sqldeveloper [2] package, which currently forces an install
of ksh [3], even though it'll work just fine with mksh.
