Ah - that's a good question :) The real answer is - no good reason. I have a T1 connection so it almost always done by the time I make a cup of tea. When I started I was not sure how much "magic" was build into the source tree and had no real incentive to find out. This started from the fact that the source tree must be mounted with the same name on the client build. I assume that is still true. The laptop uses /usr/src and my "production" tree is /usr/home/fbsd/stable/src/. Right now I am running 4.4 everywhere and 4.3 on my laptop because of the PCCARD issues with some Dell BIOS's. So there is a current reason; but that's unique to 4.4 and has not been true in the past.
