With Jen out I'm reviewing today's collect-fixities report and have some suggestions for improving the orphans list, based on the assumption that it's always a good idea to review orphans in case they're a symptom of a larger problem.

Possible enahncements:

1. Sort orphans by silo to make reconciliation of storage silos easier (this may become a problem when darchive and tarchive copies are on different silos)
2. Display storage date after each "orphan" listing. This would make troubleshooting easier by saving the step of having to go to the silo for this information to link it to a "snafu" or "stopped" or "dead" process.
3. I believe that "n/a" is listed when storemaster has no record of a package. It would be much more clear if instead of "n/a" the message was "no storemaster database listing for package
