net was kept seperate because it is big. At the time it was considered
optional since not so many systems used networking. Since then times
have changed. Networking is now much more common and developers have
faster network links to the repository. 

It has been talked about rearranging the repository when eCos 3.0
finally happens. I think at that point net will be merged into the
main repository and probably the images will be moved out.
