So, the linux locker is full of stuff. I would like to make this
locker cleaner, for my own sanity. I started moving things into
/mit/linux/Attic (a new directory that I created). I am looking for
the following actions from people on this list, in decreasing order of
priority:

1) Tell me what, if anything, that users depend on in the linux
   locker. For example, is /mit/linux/update.pl hardcoded into 5.2 or
   4.2 machines? Send me mail about this, or manually add it to the
   README file, which is now in RCS.

2) Look in the Attic. If there is something of value there, let me
   know, since right now the Attic has little value to me. I am not
   going to delete it yet, but it is not for long term storage. If
   there is something in the Attic that you know is worthless, delete
   it.

3) Look in the locker, and either move stuff to the Attic or delete it
   as you think is appropriate.

PS: If people think that I am being a Nazi or something, then convince
me that the locker should not be clean or clean it yourself in some
less Nazi way.
