[sudo-discuss] lockers

[Marina Kukso]

hey hol,

i think your point is extremely important. we have an extreme clutter
problem! partially due to our poor documentation, it's unclear when
something is an in-progress project or "hackable stuff that might have a
purpose for someone sometime in the future theoretically maybe." i have a
feeling that most of the stuff in sudo is in the latter category in which
case i'm not sure what to do...
