They would live under the release dirs or, in the case of a "branch"
set, under the branch subdirs.  I'll paste in a current outline of the
proposed changes below, just in case this is confusing.

Snapshots won't be distributed from ftp.cdrom.com anymore unless
there's something special about one of them.  I want to leave this to
the current.freebsd.org/releng22.freebsd.org/??? servers which are
dedicated to the purpose.  If a snapshot ever does appear on ftp.cdrom.com,
it will be under snapshot/ at the top level.

Nope!  Different binary types, for one thing, and some special
customizations which only we make for another.

They will live under the branch trees and be pointed at by the various
releases that wish to do so.

Anyway, here's the latest revision of my proposed reorg:
