I completely agree here, but it is difficult to get everything into
the perfect place. The NetBSD idea of moving i386 and the other platforms
into arch/ is also very nice.

The biggest problem is keeping history here. Doing something like that
with CVS is a major PITA. We didn't have any old release, so moving
the repository files didn't create a problem. That's impossible in
FreeBSD land :)
