Subject: [COFF] Lynn Conway, RIP

There seems to be some confusion, but I've heard enough sources now
that I believe it to be confirmed. Notably, faculty at UMich EECS have
shared that it was passed to them internally.

RIP Lynn Conway, architect of the VLSI revolution and long-time
transgender activist. She apparently died from heart failure; she was
86. http://www.myhusbandbetty.com/wordPressNEW/2024/06/11/lynn-conway-january-2-1938-june-9-2024/
