  Ordered lists are a whole lot more useful.

  It's almost surprising, in retrospect, that someone decided to send
  a dump to the STATUS file without some thought to it.  Lists are
  easy, finding owners is a bit more difficult.

  Perhaps we jettison these in 30 days if there is no Status: notes
  to correspond to specific suggestions.
