Trying to fix Intrepid bugs in our repository is a mistake. That is not
what the Debathena repository is for. We really want the fixes to go
upstream.
mit-scheme has never been locally installed on Athena, so this is not even
a feature that is important for Athena 10. People that need it in the
mean time can run it from the scheme locker like they did before.
I think it would be great to have a _separate_ repository that contains
“cool SIPB packages”, analagous to the outland locker and/or the sipb
locker, but this is not something that we should force on every Debathena
user.
