        Umm, before we start proposing this, we should ahve a pilot
 project, and have a few machines, including some running servers,
 that run like this, and see what breaks. We can then rty changing a
 few common packages to work like this, working out details of any
 conversion protocol requirements, if any. 

        In other words, test and proitotype first. _Then_ we change policy.
