Several of the zephyr galaxies have switched or started the switch to
K5 zephyr. I know not all have.

MIT & CMU are still using K4. I don't know how many pkgsrc users are
at either school that need K4, however, so that's somewhat

I don't have it disabled in my home realm yet, but I have moved away
from most uses.
