I hope you do not mean this seriously. I understand there still
exist some such systems but they are a relict needing to be
replaced. And at least from the systems around me (not just Red
Hat) they already have been replaced.

I work at a place where we have 100+ multi-user systems per machine
(and hundreds of machines) that have no plans on being replaced, more
like extended and expanded; we recently finished a migration from i386
boxen to x86_64 boxen, switching OS (to RHEL from SuSE) and other
stuff.

Relocation is a dream of anyone who futzes with special deliviers for
weirdo platforms; even plain old GNU/Linux boxen.

The right solution would sure be if I could just 'git pull' an
update to the assignments database/files.

Setting up a simple cronjob to copy copyright into a vcs repo that you
pull from fp is quite trivial. I have a small Makefile that copies
copyright.list (amongst other things) to my latop, and commits it to
VCS. If you want, I can bundle up that script for you.

Cheers!
