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.

Thanks,
