Comment:

 The last four action points are:

 > Test that the patches applied address the points I think they do.

 The relevant changes seem to have landed in 1.3.5, 1.4.2 and 1.4.6.

 It has been more than 5 years so I think we can reasonably assume the
 patches are working, and any issues will have been raised.

 > See what the situation is with Java.

 CI is testing system Java on macOS successfully.

 > We ought to document whatever cases remain that don't work, but perhaps
 that's better done once we've looked at #732 (at least if we can do that
 fairly soon).

 I've moved point 1 to #732 as an alternative possible resolution for that
 ticket.

 > Perhaps adjust faketime handling. The downside of testing if faketime
 works by running omega under it is that if omega is buggy these tests
 could be skipped because we think faketime doesn't work. I think I'm OK
 with this as it is overall, unless someone has a better plan.

 The current situation isn't perfect, but it tends to err towards disabling
 faketime unnecessarily, and that's the better way to err.  Also the code
 which requires faketime to test is also tested on Linux so we have
 reasonable coverage anyway.

 So I think we can close this ticket now (but if you (or anyone) find
 unfixed issues with SIP please open a new ticket for them).
