I'd think that depends on whether they unknowingly start using some
other files in the sipb cell that aren't available to system:anyuser.
If it seems necessary to delete them, it'd probably be a good idea to
send them mail saying that this has occurred.

paradis was at one time (starting around 1990 or 1991) a guest account
that lnp sponsored for her brother James Paradis, under the policy at
the time that any sipb member could sponsor guest accounts. The only
other things I know about him is that he's an MIT alumnus, and that
he's not the same person as Prof. James Paradis who is currently
jparadis@mit.edu. I'm not sure if he worked on any sipb project (at
the time, this wasn't required).
Anyway, I'd suggest either removing the volume, or else sending mail
to lnp asking if she'd like to make a copy of any of the files, and
then removing the volume sometime next month.
