I'm not sure that I'd call this a bug. :-)

The directory is still applicable to DTrace when it gets MFC'd. The design in
current allows it to drop directly into RELENG_7 at some point. There is
strong interest from vendors of FreeBSD based systems for DTrace support in
both RELENG_7 and RELENG_6.

The references /could/ be removed now without breaking anything, but they wil
just need to be added back again later.
