I've actually wanted to use src/release/freebsd/ for the "official" FreeBSD 
release bits so that src/release/fooBSD could be used for the "foo" dist.  
picoBSD really should move more to a nano type model if it stays around 
anyways.  Using splitfs should make it much easier to keep picoBSD around 
actually, and to do what some people have long wanted: have the release 
floppies actually be a 'release' picoBSD dist.
