If so, then I agree. Yes. : Of course, I have a somewhat cock-eyed view of what I would like src/sys to : look like: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/sysorg.txt.

Ideally, IMO, : src/release should be a place to stick stuff used for building : releases, not a dumping ground. This is one of the reasons (among : others) that I moved sysinstall to src/usr.sbin/, as it is not a : release-only tool. Others have pointed out that picoBSD is just : another form of distributing code like the normal releases. I : personally feel that they are apples and oranges, but not everyone : will agree. But when you build a picobsd image, you are building a release. That's why it was originally placed in there. The original discussion said it was the least bad place for it in the tree. What if we have a TinyBSD that is a different animal than PicoBSD. Do we have a src/tinybsd and a src/picobsd as well?
