Offhand I think it's a great idea, but a few twists come to mind:
* What will these file's status in "upstream" Gnus be? Gnus tries to be
compatible with older emacs versions, so it seems like you can't just
remove them from the Gnus distribution, but for this "separation" to have
any real effect for Gnus developers, it would seem that they shouldn't be
kept in their current location.
* As discussed in another thread, Richard has said that files which are not
under lisp/gnus/, and not "obviously" Gnus-related, should have a
slightly different status with respect to the Gnus developers -- he
doesn't want arbitrary changes made to them without more discussion
(whereas with files under lisp/gnus/, you have a freer hand).
In the previous thread, I came to the conclusion that this wasn't a big
deal for th because the files in question are unlikely to see major
changes on the branch Emacs syncs with (v5-10) anyway, but perhaps some
sort of more official policy for Gnus upstream is useful (e.g., "Don't
make major changes to the files in the "blahblah/" directory without
coordinating it with Emacs developers first").

Moving in the repository is _very_ bad. Definitely just "remove + add"; you
can include the old location in the CVS log for users to follow.
