I haven't seen any discussion about it--maybe it's been in IRC while I'm
not there.  fink-seed has been eerily quiet, too.

A major blocker could have been X11.  However, it appears that Apple is
kindly providing a compatibility symlink for that.  (I'm not sure if
they're still keeping the /usr/X11R6 compatibility symlink, though).
That removes one big reason to use a separate tree, since we don't have
to rewrite the package descriptions or come up with patches for most if
not all of our X11-using packages.

Otherwise, I'm not sure if there are any issues that would be better
addressed with a separate tree than by sharing one.
