Erich,
Agreed. This is a legacy situation forced on us during SF service
changes. Now that the FRS supports sub-directories storing packages in
CVS for distribution is no longer necessary. Mater of fact, it's now
against SF ToS to distribute this way. Thus the source tarball FRS
requirement applicability to us.

Enrico,
We'll still need source tarballs for the SF FRS.

I concur on this git structure. The problem is migrating our build tools
to any new SCM.
