Ah. If it's cosmetic and transient, then we should not bother with it.
But we might want to mention it in the Release notes.
Heather:
You might want to note in the Release Notes that the new lprNG stuff has
one cosmetic aspect: If you print from Athena 8.3 to an old server, you
won't see your hostname. This is PURELY cosmetic, and the hostname
shows back up when the print server gets upgraded.
