Why use fixed RELXDIR ?

Why use fixed RELXDIR ?

snippet from /usr/src/distrib/*/iso/Makefile:

.include ${TOP}/Makefile.inc

CDROM=  install${REV}.iso
RELXDIR=/home/relx-${MACHINE}
RELDIR?=/home/rel-${MACHINE}

Is it a typo, or advisement?
Can we move CDROM, RELXDIR, and RELDIR to '${TOP}/Makefile.inc'?

No.  It is what we use behind the scene to build snapshots, since the
X and src trees are still rather disjoint.

And everyone wants us to continue to build snapshots.
