I think some Athena 10 issues belong in IS&T Jira.

When I asked a couple months ago where to track Athena 10 issues,
Greg Hudson pointed me at the debathena issue tracker, and suggested
that should be sufficient.
I've had some experience using that tracker, and I'm coming to
believe that maybe we need a separate tracker.
Here's my thinking:
The debathena trac system used by the debathena folk is a broad
inventory of issues relating to many versions and many different
approaches to using and developing debathena. In the course of
testing Athena 10, Alex Prengel, Jonathan Reed, and I have all found
issues that relate specifically to the Athena 10 product as it would
either be deployed to Athena Clusters, or how it would be used by
individuals familiar with Athena 9.
Examples:
Vagaries of the migration from LPRng to CUPS and its impact on 3rd
party software.
The names of the different sessions on offer from the Athena 10
Xlogin greeter screen.
There is actually an Athena10 Jira setup that was created before I
got serious about issue tracking:
https://jira.mit.edu/jira/browse/ATN
I want to use Jira's ability to tie issues to a particular release,
and to a calendar so that the various issues we see get resolved as
Athena 10 rolls out.
I think I'm going to start an inventory of issues there, beginning
with what remains of Alex Prengel's printing issues, and the
debathena issues that I've previously labeled as "wdc-blocker".
Do people have strong feelings pro or con on my proposed course of
action?
