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.
