Moving it just to move it is what I oppose.  At least removal of _P()
accomplishes something :-).  It annoys bde.  Also, the repo copy would
put the 5M load on the cvsup servers all at the same time.  Is that
worth the hassle?  I don't think so, but others might disagree.

The src/sys tree is slowly migrating.  In the end it will likely be a
large amount spent on copies there than moving release/picobsd would
generate.

Mostly I was pointing out the cost of the simple mv.  My opposition
isn't anywhere the pitch a fit and try to veto the idea.
