 It just crossed my mind that we don't have anything tracking this. Lets
 fix that.

 Mike lacks either the time or interest in maintaining turtles. He'd like
 to hand it off to somebody, but the status quo is not ok. We have a
 directory authority that's so unmaintained I've given up even reporting
 problems with it any longer.

 We need to do one of the following...

 a. Find a new maintainer for turtles.
 b. Replace turtles with another authority.
 c. Just drop it from the authority list.

 Option 'c' is obviously the easiest, but I suspect we'd rather 'a' or 'b'
 to maintain the odd authority count.

 This issue isn't of terribly great urgency, but it has persisted for the
 better part of a year so we should finally track and fix it.

 Cheers! -Damian
