 TODO NOW:
 
-- Implement "group" filtering using blanche for limited rollouts.
-
-- Remove "already migrated" cruft that will accumulate if we do small
-  --limit and then increase.
-- Make single user mass-migrate work when not logged in as root
-
-- Make parallel-find.pl use `sudo -u username git describe --tags`
-  to determine version.  Make parallel-find.pl have this have greater
-  precedence.  This also means, however, that we get
-  full mediawiki-1.2.3-2-abcdef names (Have patch, pending testing and commit)
-- Make deployed installer use 'wizard install' /or/ do a migration
-  after doing a normal install (the latter makes it easier
-  for mass-rollbacks).
-
-- Better error message if daemon/scripts-security-upd
-  is not on scripts-security-upd list
-
-- Custom merge algo: absolute php.ini symlinks to relative symlinks
-- Custom merge algo: re-constitute AdminSettings.php if missing.  It looks
-  like this is the case for most 1.5.8 installs (check what the merges
-  do in both directions).  All 1.11.0 installs except four have
-  the other (check diff -u with all in /root)
+- Keep my sanity when upgrading 1000 installs
+    - Distinguish between errors(?)
+    - Custom merge algo: absolute php.ini symlinks to relative symlinks (this
+      does not seem to have been a problem in practice)
+    - Custom merge algo: check if it's got extra \r's in the file,
+      and dos2unix it if it does, before performing the merge
+    - `vos exa` in order to check what a person's quota is.  We can
+      figure out roughly how big the upgrade is going to be by
+      doing a size comparison of the tars: `git pull` MUST NOT
+      fail, otherwise things are left conflicted, and not easy to fix.
+    - Prune -7 call errors and automatically reprocess them (with a
+      strike out counter of 3)--this requires better error parsing
+    - Report stats if I C-C the process
+
+- Distinguish from logging and reporting (so we can easily send mail
+  to users)
+    - Figure out a way of collecting blacklist data from .scripts/blacklisted
+      and aggregate it together
+    - Failed migrations should be wired to have wizard commands in them
+      automatically log to the relevant file.  In addition, the seen file
+      should get updated when one of them gets fixed.
+    - Failed migration should report how many unmerged files there are
+      (so we can auto-punt if it's over a threshold)
+
+- Let users use Wizard when ssh'ed into Scripts
+    - Make single user mass-migrate work when not logged in as root
+
+- Make the rest of the world use Wizard
+    - Make parallel-find.pl use `sudo -u username git describe --tags`
+      to determine version.  Make parallel-find.pl have this have greater
+      precedence.  This also means, however, that we get
+      full mediawiki-1.2.3-2-abcdef names (Have patch, pending testing and commit)
+    - Make deployed installer use 'wizard install' /or/ do a migration
+      after doing a normal install (the latter makes it easier
+      for mass-rollbacks).
+
+- Pre-emptively check if daemon/scripts-security-upd
+  is not on scripts-security-upd list (/mit/moira/bin/blanche)
 
 - Redo Wordpress conversion, with an eye for automating everything
   possible (such as downloading the tarball and unpacking)
 
-- Genericize callAsUser and drop_priviledges in shell
-- Summary script should be more machine friendly, and should not
-  output summary charts when I increase specificity
-
-Some other stuff to do in your copious free time:
-- Summary script should do something intelligent when distinguishing
-  between old-style and new-style installs
-- Check how many autoinstalls are missing w bits for
-  daemon.scripts (this would need pyafs)
-- Make scripts AFS patch advertise its existence so we can check for it.
-  (This might be otherwise possible using `fs sysname`)
-- Make 'wizard summary' generate nice pretty graphs of installs by date
-  (more histograms, will need to check actual .scripts-version files.)
-- It should be able to handle installs like Django where there's a component
-  that gets installed in web_scripts and another directory that gets installed
-  in Scripts.
+- Pay back code debt
+    - Genericize callAsUser and drop_priviledges in shell
+    - Summary script should be more machine friendly, and should not
+      output summary charts when I increase specificity
+    - Summary script should do something intelligent when distinguishing
+      between old-style and new-style installs
+    - Report code in wizard/command/__init__.py is ugly as sin
+
+- Other stuff
+    - Don't use the scripts heuristics unless we're on scripts with the
+      AFS patch.  Check with `fs sysname`
+    - Make 'wizard summary' generate nice pretty graphs of installs by date
+      (more histograms, will need to check actual .scripts-version files.)

+      that gets installed in web_scripts and another directory that gets installed
+      in Scripts.
+    - ACLs is a starting point for sending mail to users, but it has
+      several failure modes:
+        - Old maintainers who don't care who are still on the ACL
+        - Private AFS groups that aren't mailing lists and that we
+          can't get to
+      A question is whether or not sending mail actually helps us:
+      many users will probably have to come back to us for help; many
+      other users won't care.
