I must raise a small voice in protest, here.. I don't think we should
be selectively building one part of the tree over another one. My opinion
the problem here is that the US folks (or, at least jason?) want a crypto
tree that they can change _entirely_. to me, that means that crypto-us
has to be *entirely* self contained. frank and i discussed this on ICB the
other day (we agreed to disagree). he feels that we'll have version skew
as any files that *are* the same in both will only have changes feeding one
direction. i agree that this is an issue, though i doubt it has any
relevance in *reality* as i don't foresee such changes happening often or
without similar changes elsewhere.
i'd prefer crypto-us didn't exist *at all* but given that it does and that
isn't likely to change for a while, it should be a first-class citizen.
