	We should make it possible to mix and match packages from Hamm
 and Slink. This fhs package that moves things at once would make that
 harder. I think we should be working on getting a hybrid system in
 place, which can be incrementaly upgraded, rather than get into
 another glibc-like upgrade all at once or else transition.
