These are the other recent changes (just quoting from the mail
I sent October 9):

- service -- delete outdated binaries; copy in bos, newpag, pagsh, pts,
  and vos from the athena cell; reduce to one replication site

- system -- reduce to one replication site

- various readonly volumes:
  1) the ones copied onto ronald-ann d back in January 1991 (this was
     done out of a temporary data-safety concern, not for the usual
     stability and/or performance reasons): ca, cplusplus, doc, dvi2ps,
     iap, kcll, metafont, newwebster, nihongo, num_anal, pcomm (these
     are all project.<name>.readonly)
  2) ones created for other reasons, but which haven't been updated
     in over a year: admin.text.readonly, system.cap.readonly,
     system.xdm.readonly

I found some of these (the readonly volumes for cplusplus, ca,
doc, dvi2ps, metafont, and newwebster) already gone:

   Wed Oct 21 00:46:03 1992: 1 Volser: CreateVolume: volume 536872858 (user.warlord.bin) created

I think whoever removed these volumes should have told sipb-afsreq,
since it should have been apparent (from my mail October 9) that
someone else was working on this, and since it was waste of time to
try to track down why the volumes were no longer on the
server/partition where I'd found them before...
