Which? I am not aware of any.
Even if, I'd call relying on them "broken design", esp. if considering
that ksh had been closed source until not too far ago.
If someone has a package that has ksh scripts, I don't think requiring
that they rewrite them to bash scripts is a reasonable packaging
requirement, considering that ksh is part of fedora-core now.
The details of ksh *are* different. The fact that bash is at least as
capable, if not more so is not really relevant.
