Yeah, but presumably all the major distributors have long ago figured out how to do this (it's not *that* hard) and, by moving the tests now, would actually make work for them :) (Granted, that's also not that hard)

Losing the history of a bunch of files would be a much more serious concern, IMHO.  If the files can't be moved without losing history, I'de be a definite -1 on this change; otherwise, a meh -0.
