The only place files should ever be removed from a cvs tree are after
they have been placed into an Attic.  Doing it at any other time
risks spamming a checkout that may be running.  The Attic is only
looked in if someone is doing cvs with a -r or -D option, which is
pretty rare.

Best thing here is to place them into the Attic using cvs, just incase
they happened to have landed into /usr/src or /usr/ports.  Then wait
for the next update of /usr/src and/or /usr/ports.  Then go in and
blow away the Attic files.

> 2) after someone has sup'ed the files.

If the files have not been tagged with a release tag of some form one
should use the same procedure in Item 1.

> 3) after the the files have been moved to Attics.

See Item 1, and comment above.  Files should only be removed from Attic
areas.  Also if a file has had a release tag applied to it it should *never*
be removed, this is very important for creating diffs.

Becuase the way that ports are now done it would probably be safe to
run a wholesale cleanout of the Attic area in there (I doun't think
a tag has ever been applied to the ports area :-)).
