That was the ksh93-integration project, to modernize /sbin/sh+/bin/sh
in Solaris 11 to a POSIX shell. dash doesn't had all required
features, bash was too big and slow, so they went for the original
Korn Shell (1993 spec), aka ksh93.
for OpenSSH it is basically like bash in POSIX mode, fully standard compliant.
