As I suspected, ops has come to terms with this split. We're not
planning ot us athena10 on servers, and at this time to not have an
requests for features or products that would make our life easier.

At this time we have one additional server in this category that we
expect to install athena on. After that it's conceivable we'd need to
do an emergency re-install at somepoint, but not terribly likely. It
doesn't seem worthwhile to do the work of pushing the WANBOOT code
into production. However, sunburn cannot be unexpectedly
decommissioned. We can discuss planning a decommissioning for it when
the time comes.

There are several possible approaches here, but we haven't confirmed
which of them are possible. One open question is if it comes down to
it (and I'm not sure that's likely), is there a group (hotline?) that
would be willing to fund the maintenance of a Virtual server to run
nagios?
