I think that what I'd like to see is the `gnu' filsys point to the
filsys group containing /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/gnu and
/afs/athena.mit.edu/project/gnu (or contrib/gnu), with the sipb copy
as the primary, synctree'd into the athena copy each night.  This
seems to work well for the sipb locker.  The support issue isn't a
concern to me, since we can (and should, IMHO) still maintain the
party line ``the supported version of {gcc,g++,gdb} is in the cygnus
locker''

`blanche -m gnu' shows that most of the `maintainers' are SIPB
members.  No one ever does anything with the locker; the cygnus locker
is the official response to the gnu locker needing a maintainer.  The
gnu locker as it exists is only there to confuse people.  Can anyone
think of a reason not to just remove the whole thing and start over?
