If you do this, please ensure that it includes appropriate language (as in
the Hoary announcement I sent out) which clearly warns users about what they
are going to do.

If you are going to lower the barrier to entry for Hoary, it is essential
that the uninitiated know exactly what they are signing up for.

A fresh hoary sources.list from a hypothetical fresh hoary install would
look something like this:

## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch updated software from the network
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main restricted

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe'
## repository.
## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu

# deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe
# deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-security main restricted

i.e., exactly the same as the Warty one, with the string 'warty' replaced
with 'hoary'.
