It's interesting that it was left behind in the last big rearrangement, which 
did successfully move most of the misc. file systems to the fs tree.  One good 
reason not to move things around in the kernel tree is that it's not just 
kernel code that is affected -- userland code is also affected, and if there 
are third party apps that use kernel include files, they need to be updated. 
I'm not sure if that's true for the cd9660 file system, but it would be easy 
to imagine that being the case.
