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.
