I think the priority should be to clean-up the flags that 
already exist (the things I talk to you last week about 
ptracers).
The reason is that when a logic flag needs to be removed
from a namelist, it's a pain for thoses who already use it
(and it's more difficult to stop cleanly when a "retired" 
 logical parameter is used in a data file, as opposed to 
 an integer or real parameters).

So that, the sooner the cleaning is done, the better.
