I'm going to assume you're asking "why doesn't davej like that idea", since the mv desire is probably obvious (compliance w/packaging standards). Basically, because cvs sucks, and all revision history goes bye-bye if we do the move. Though really... Dave, how big a deal is that really if we do it this early in rawhide?
