+Object Hub
+==========
+
+This package used to hold the object hub service. The object hub
+service was responsible for:
+
+- Managing short ids for objects, useful for indexing
+
+- Keeping track of object locations.  This was important when the
+  object hub was created, because it wasn't practical to use direct
+  object references. No it is, so hub ids are no-longer useful for
+  implementing location-independent object references.
+
+The object hub service is dead.
+
+In the future, there will be a utility for use by indexes, that
+maintains short ids for objects. Perhaps this will be an indexing id
+service.
