I'd argue for that for other reasons.  I don't want my "installed"
include files to change out from under me as I do a cvs update in my
/usr/src/sys area.  This is just wrong, because that's what make
install is for.

Some people like it, I know, but in general, for most people it is
confusing and tends to cause lots of errors.

Oh, I tend to have /usr/src on a jaz drive, and if I unmount it, I
can't compile *ANYTHING*.
