FWIW, I'm currently unclear on what we should do about sysadmin content.
With the looming 'Linux Deployment Guide' out there, we are probably
better served updating that content.  However, it is entirely off the
wiki (in XML), so doesn't work as well with the facts of community
collaboration.  I've been ignoring thinking about this until the work
for F10 is done.
