These are way overdue.

Kill them (they'll reinstall themselves as 64-bit when we push out Natty).

> 2) Killing the LPR wrappers with fire

While not killing them, they should be severely singed, in that we should stop honoring LPROPT (and possibly PRINTER) and LPRng arguments, though we should whine at the user if they set LPROPT.

> 3) Future of lert and login counts?  I'm told that the 2012 deactivation will not use lert.  If lert will be going away, we need another source for login counts.

jweiss believes that lert will not be going away immediately, but jdreed will confirm with zacheiss.
