ummm, excuse me, but does this mean you people are actually planning
on moving X11 stuff to /usr/athena/X11?  If you don't mind me saying,
this is perhaps one of the stupidest ideas I have *ever* heard.  Maybe
you could try to convince me that perl, or patch, or mh, is
"athena-provided" in some way, and belongs in /usr/athena, but not
X11.  No way.  Who's idea is this, anyway?  Something which will break
as many users' code as this is likely to should be advertised well in
advance of the release, and given the opportunity to be commented on
(shredded?).
