IMHO, The big problem with README.FreeBSD is that it's not uncommon to see 
vendors shipping README files for particular OS's, and it's not 
unreasonable to expect that there could be README.FreeBSD's around there 
from vendors.  It also blends in with the vendor files too well.  I'd have 
preferred them to be up a directory level out of the vendor files 
altogether..  (eg: src/contrib/cvs/* and src/contrib/cvs.README)

Cheers,
