• stating that the district court “may not impose a revocation sentence solely, or even primarily, based on the new criminal offense underlying the revocation”
• noting that “[t]he seriousness of the offense underlying the revocation, though not a focal point of the inquiry, may be considered to a lesser degree as part of the criminal history of the violator”
• providing that district court may sanction violator for “breach of trust”
