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.
