The best way to do that is chunk, reproduce and migrate (and then improve!)
rather than attempt to divine their operation from the encrusted barnacles,
and we can only do that one piece at a time. I've started with mail because
it was very recently 100% h0rked, but I'll see how priorities work out as I
attack other parts of the systems.

Gotta have priorities.
