The attic files stay forever in the repository; they won't show up in your
working copy, though. This is just how CVS handles deleted files.
Mozdev does offer Mercurial now if you're interested in that; it has much
better support for deleting directories and files as well as moving files
around and renaming.
If you would like some surgery to be done to your CVS tree or are interested
in Mercurial feel free to file a bug from the feedback page [1].

yes i would like to go to mercurial (seems the thing to do lately), but
need to understand it with eclipse (a cursory look at the plugin for
mercurial doesn't make me very warm and fuzzy). also, unless the entire
project (download and www) goes there as als0, it seems to make less
sense to rush in..
but with fx and now tb/sm in mercurial, it has to be figured out tools
wise, otherwise the joy of submitting patches and being stuck in review
purgatory/hades/non-nirvana will be reduced.
