I do. :-) That was the location in the original supfiles used by the
old "sup" utility that CVSup replaced. When I first released CVSup
I made it so that people could use their old supfiles unmodified --
simply because I wanted it to be as easy as possible to switch to
CVSup so a lot of people would try it out.
I agree that /usr/sup is a lousy place for the metadata, and that
something under /var/db would be a lot more sensible.
