From our end, there's nothing we need from the software library for
hypodorian. We haven't applied an OS patch to it ever, and at this
point, the version of Irix it's running (6.5.3) has been long
desupported by SGI, and they won't be releasing patches for it. I think
it's safe to assume we can leave its installed software image frozen
until the time comes to decomission it.
