It'd be delightful from a completeness standpoint (and I do love completeness), but considering it already takes a good 20 minutes to clone the 2.6 tree over a respectable cable connection, I'd have to object on the grounds of size. Now, if it was kept off in its own tree for people who don't mind ravaging kernel.org resources to satisfy their own curiosity, that's fine too.
