Sounds like a plan to me, I definitely agree on the amount of time
they tend to soak up.  I'll let things sit for a week or two, and
start looking at whacking them all. Maybe I can add a command such
as PR gdb/#### in the few cases where we do provide a number. It's
going to be a little painful, because of course the numbers are
probably from the old database, so I'd have to check each of them.
But there aren't too many, fortunately.
