I wouldn't say it's "very very behind"; although it calls itself
7.7.3, it has a number of Athena 8 updates.  At any rate, for the next
release we'll switch from the sipb-athena locker to the new
source-sipb locker, which is in close sync with Athena 8; Sal already
ported a bunch of stuff in there to work on Linux, so that shouldn't
be too much of a problem.
