I realize that mkserv is going away in Athena 10. I wonder, however,
if we'll have any mechanism by which users can turn a workstation into
a vanilla cluster configuration. OLC does find itself in the
position of telling users to use this command once in a while (mkserv
public is more common than mkserv clean). I realize we plan to have a
"public athena" flag file somewhere, but obviously creating that file
will not instantaneously cause the machine to fix itself. Will there
be a method by which a user can request that a machine immediately
revert to a clean state?
