I can see your point it would save a lot of patch hunting.
However, it wouldn't stop patches going out of sync with current svn as they
wouldn't be kept up to date to work with current code. As if this was an
optional folder that wasn't applied normally to svn developers wouldn't take
account of it when making changes to the main svn.
