+SUMMARY:
+* Features eliminated from util:
+  - threading (goal: good riddance!)
+  - complex logging features [ectx-passing, target-kinds] (goal: good riddance!)
+  - complex configuration features [defaults, notifications] (goal: good riddance!)
+  - network traffic monitors (goal: eliminate)
+  - IPC semaphores (goal: d-bus? / eliminate?)
+  - second timers
+  - DNS lookup (goal: have async service; issue: still need synchronous 
+                resolution in places, current code may not be portable)
+  => code shrunk from 61 files to 34, 22k LOC to 15k LOC, 470k to 330k (with symbols)
+* New features in util:
+  - scheduler
+  - service and program boot-strap code
+* Major changes in util:
+  - more expressive server (replaces selector)
