+==== Bootstrap 4 Notes ====
+  * The Ang5-compatible bootstrap library ng-bootstrap supports BS4 only.
+  * Version 4 is mostly backward compatible with version 3.
+  * The "panel" is no more -- replaced with "card".
+  * Glyphicons are deprecated (and have license restrictions).  BS suggests some alternatives.

+  * The utility classes have been expanded
+    * https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/
+    * Margins, padding, text, colors, borders, and more!
+    * These remove the need to write a lot of local CSS.  Want a small amount of margin up top? class="mt-1"
+==== Upgrade Path Recommended by Angular ====
+See also https://angular-2-training-book.rangle.io/handout/migrate/ng-upgrade/order_of_operations.html
+=== I. Follow the AngularJS Style Guide ===
+=== II. Use a Module Loader ===
+  - Angular5 (well, ng-cli) uses Webpack by default.
+  - May be implemented independent of any Ang5 upgrade plans.
+  - Improved options for creating of JS, etc. bundles
+  - Can be implemented in low-impact phases.
+    - Phase I: Use webpack as a drop-in replacement for Grunt for compiling builds (and use npm to run karma unit tests).
+      - No application code changes are required.
+      - I have a branch that does this (plus Angular 1.6 -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1739803 [pushed to 3.1-beta])
+    - Phase II: Start using ES6-style module 'import' statements for specifying dependencies.
+      - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import
+      - These ultimately replace <script/> imports
+=== III. Migrating to TypeScript ===
+=== IV. Using Component Directives ===
+=== V. Upgrade with ngUpgrade ===
