Just confusion, no irritation.

The major items for 8.2 are:

	* IRIX 6.2 on the Indys
	* Solaris 2.6 on the Suns
	* Full migration to Kerberos 5
	* Updated ispell
	* perl 5
	* latex2e, maybe
	* Reverting Sun backspace/delete to vendor normal
	* Athena login library
	* ssh support
	* kermit is updated and built as part of the release
	* zephyr is updated to a new code base (no significant
	  user-visible differences, I think)
	* xntpd used for time synchronization

I didn't do a big search backwards.  I could have missed something.
(I think I am deliberately going to punt any move to a new synctree
code base or getting rid of track, incidentally.)
