If I may ask, what's the motivation for adding two alternate
versions of awk to
Fedora?
The reason for mawk is it can be faster than gawk for some things [1] [2]. As
for nawk, I like doing things with awk and comparing the different awks so I
figured I'd include nawk too. nawk is also the version of awk included with the
BSDs and OS X.
