the whole point of this thread is that fedora removed awk from its base
set.  given that bb is often used for initrd and the like, and given the
ongoing discussions elsewhere about removing awk from base sets, it
seems likely that the quantity is on the upswing.

obviously if it adds such support it should be in general, not only for
one command.  but fedora has made awk an important one.
