I agree totally.  I think having a FreeBSD cvs tree is a *great* idea,
and would save the Netscape folks time to have a 'organized' place to
get tested patches from (vs. having to wade through the masses of
patches coming in.)

The JDK folks are doing this now, and IMHO it gives us much more 'value'
to SUN dealing with a single 'group' rather than dealing with
potentially conflicting bug reports/fixes and the like.  With the
FreeBSD 'mozilla' team blessing and testing patches, it's much easier to
simply integrate them in.
