Details

The 2020 version of ksh that was developed by Kurtis Rader is now unmaintained and unsupported by AT&T.

See the note on the v2020.0.0 release page and also https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1466

Furthermore ksh2020 is significantly slower than ksh93u+ (the last stable release of David Korn's original implementation): https://github.com/att/ast/issues/1449

I would therefore humbly submit that it might be better to revert to ksh93u+ (or perhaps ksh93v-) for this package.
