It's mostly matter of convenience. The amount of changes within
ufs/* is much bigger than for other filesystems. It would be hard
to track down old issues if ufs/*/ or nfs moved. Also, I consider
nfs and ufs/* critical enough to warrant location under sys/.

Yes, this seems sensible. cd9600 is strange name, it should have
been iso9660.
