Two things come to my mind:
* Now, there are the ROOT file(s) and etc/sessions.  I wonder whether
this can be unified further, e.g. having just one sessions file in . or
etc/.
* When introducing HOL-Base, HOL-Plain etc., there was hope that each
one will build on top of its predecessor.  Maybe the present build
architecture now permits this, but I guess there is still the difficulty
of sharing document output etc.
