Didn't realize that....

Yes.

I've seen that and I'm not sure I like it....

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?
