I consider src, ports, and docs as separate repos, not as one repo (we 
can branch them separately, that's the point of distinction for me). 
With that POV I do not think it is pragmatic to have the toolchain in 
the same repo. I understand that it's convenient and less painful, and 
pragmatic in regards to what you have mentioned, to keep it within a 
repo in our control (like now, just in parallel to ports/src/doc).
