I did this. It's been many moons and many point releases (and a major
release) since the last time we moved a package directory (ncurses, I
think) from contrib to latest. Hopefully the changes in the internal
logic -- and the greater reliance on setup.ini -- mean that this will
cause little if any disruption. (Also, Robert asserts that it will
cause no damage). So, a test (in preparation for cgf's possible reorg?)
Besides, we have a several 'latest' packages (bison, grep, sharutils,
texinfo, textutils, vim) that depend on libintl (gettext). The "policy"
was that 'latest' stuff should depend only on other 'latest' stuff --
that was the rationale for moving ncurses, anyway.

But I didn't do this.
