Karl is referring to how we build our developer instances.  We don't  
use devpad for that.  We do use devpad for production.

I'm pretty sure removing sourcecode directories generally would be a  
bad idea unless we replace our current rsync mechanism for production  
with some machinery mirroring what we do for devs.  That might be a  
good idea in the medium or long term, but for now I'd advocate  
sticking with the current machinery.

My original email was sent out a while ago, by the way.  Tom verified  
at the time that touching devpad does not affect production, IIRC.

Thanks
