Is P4 your shorthand for `PerForce' ? Some commercial software
most of us don't have ? Do you think FreeBSD release builders may
be using that to assemble 5.0 src/ ?

Repeat Question for release engineers please:
What is the cvs syntax, or where is
the date documented in cvs/ , to extract RC2 src/ ?
when cvs/ tree is local it's unattractive to need to ftp either ISOs, or
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-RC2/src/

5.0-RC2-i386-disc1.iso contains 75M of compressed src/
5.0-RC2-i386-disc2.iso /usr/src is empty.
