Talking about graveyard orbits, recently there was a story about
the imminent decommissioning of Landsats 4 and 5:

 http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n0105/21landsat/

Is there a graveyard orbit for sun-synchronous satellites, or
will they be deorbited?  The article doesn't seem to mention 
the actual fate of the two satellites.
