There seems to be a lot of work to do here, but I do not feel comfortable side-tracking onto it right now. Let's consider it to be "under construction" - maybe with a disclaimer at the start of every lab (that some labs still need work to bring them from J602 to J801, and/or a reference to a page thanking people that have the focus to port labs to j801)?
Personally, following the path of least resistance, I have been running labs on J602 (or j64-602). But at some point that becomes self defeating. If no one else steps up, I am inclined to tackle them one-at-a-time, over an extended period of time. (I think the labs need a reflective attitude - in some cases they cause deliberate errors, in other cases the information is stale, and fixes to the labs really demand some reflection on what the lab is trying to say). I imagine that I would probably start with the lab on authoring labs, which needs several fixes. But of course we also have plenty of other things to do, also.
