(random things that need sorting)

• use /etc/issue.net to advertise that somebody logs into an obsolete machine pretty intrusive:
  • may conflict with existing local changes to the file,
  • may conflict with later planned migration, for tech reasons
• send mail to root. Problem: not set up correctly, will go to nowhere, will flood admin for some clusters
• use CDB info for centraly-managed machines?
• send mail to registered LanDB owner - see HowToRunASLC3MigrationCampaign. Messy log-file parsing..
• what about machines that (still) cannot migrate because service deps are not met? - affects gLite Middleware
• inform DTF regularly on progress and measures
• inform Linux users: nntp:cern.linux, mailto:linux-experts, mailto:linux-certification
• link to upstream SL deadline, https://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/
• should we point users to CentOS repos (available until ~2010)?
• need reliable statistics to track phaseout.
