  Log:
  Spring cleaning in preparation for Google SoC 2007.  Remove the following
  projects (based on discussions with netchild and rwatson):
  
  - AutoFS: Adam Martin has been working on this since Google SoC 2006 and it
    looks like we will see an implementation announced soon.
  
  - Magic symlinks: Several implementations exists, so we don't need more
    people looking at this right now.
  
  - Tarfs: Eric Anderson is already working on this in p4.
  
  - ZFS: No need to have this here, pjd has been hacking on ZFS for FreeBSD
    for quite some time now.
  
  - Cam layer locking: My understanding is that scottl is about to commit
    his locking work to CVS soon.
  
  - FPU subsystem overhaul: Not suitable as a Google SoC project.
  
  - Linuxulator: We already have several committers (netchild, jkim, kib)
    and past SoC students (Roman Divacky) working on this, so remove it
    from the list.
  
  - Process Checkpointing: Not suitable as a Google SoC project.
  
  - Flight mode: Does not belong on the list.  benjsc has implemented
    this functionality (not yet committed though).
  
  - Zeroconf: Already available on the Networking wiki page.
  
  - NSS/LDAP/HESIOD/NIS/YP: Michael Bushkov did this as part of
    Google SoC 2006 so this isn't suitable for Google SoC 2007.  Not
    committed yet.
  
  More to come...
