    I do. :-) That was the location in the original supfiles used by the
    old "sup" utility that CVSup replaced. When I first released CVSup
    I made it so that people could use their old supfiles unmodified --
    simply because I wanted it to be as easy as possible to switch to
    CVSup so a lot of people would try it out.

    I agree that /usr/sup is a lousy place for the metadata, and that
    something under /var/db would be a lot more sensible.
