Here is a list of orphaned release projects, since Bill asked:

	* That whole aui thing.

	* Replace track and synctree with a free and well-written tool
	  which can do both.

	* Create a scheme for merging local and Athena changes to
	  config files.

	* Make Athena workstations secure against local root
	  compromise.  This means:
		- Audit all the setuid code in the Athena tree.
		- Stop trusting AFS for setuid bits.

	* I'm told we have a library called libacl in a few places in
	  the source tree.  Make a single version of it which works.

	* Make all workstations have an /etc/athena/access file; stop
	  supporting /etc/nocreate and /etc/noremote.
