I think removing awk is a bad idea. It will break legacy scripts as has already been suggested. I am mostly an observer on this list and say very little but I think that awk is used by a lot of people. I used it in a script that analyzed mail logs for example. It was previously written in perl but I redid it in bash with awk and it ran faster.
