Yes, it is simpler to just keep the source tree clean, if you have
that option.  My ex-department tried the experiment of overlaying the
contents of our file server, which we kept pretty lean, on top of the
main Plan 9 file server.  It kept us current yet allowed us to
implement different administrative policies and in general substitute
our own files for those on the main file server.  We didn't have
permission to clean the main source tree.
