At the time I asked "Where is it?", I did two "git pull", a few minutes apart,
received nothing [successfully], and "git branch" showed no "treebuilder".
This was on my local git tree, which I cloned about half a year ago
and have updated somewhat regularly.  After clumens' reply, then I pulled
a third time.  Git downloaded approx. 30 changes [the treebuilder ones],
and "git branch -r" revealed "treebuilder".  Now I see treebuilder; thank you.

Deleting gnarly code certainly is good.  Merely moving it "upstream"
might just hand the problems to someone unfamiliar with them,
and jnecessitate more time for over-all improvement.

I consider it to be a technical fault that F-15 did not announce the
larger RAM requirements for install from DVD until shortly before
final release.  Five months of lead time after a technical change
(the need for larger RAM arose by January when initrds were combined)
produced unintended consequences for users.  Five weeks?
