We feel that it is easiest to keep the cvsup example files in the base system so that we can make it easier for the user to have the right RELENG_X tag, etc... CVSup isn't in /usr/src because it is written in Modula-3 and we don't want to bring a Modula-3 compiler into the base system. It has nothing to do with architectures. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
