ATM we get the repo copy when we request one. There's no approval  
process I'm aware of. So I expect a lot of bikeshed discussions about  
the right layout if someone moves parts of the tree. But the problem  
you mentioned above is not a policy problem, it's a technical problem:  
CVS has no official way to move while keeping the history. Because of  
this we have to cheat. Cheating can harm the repo, so we only allow a  
subset of the people to cheat. The policy we have ATM is the result of  
a technical limitation, not a political decission in the first place.

Bye,
Alexander.
