To be exact, that should also include:
    texk/web2c/omegafonts
               omegaware
               otps
and
    texmf/doc/omega

But there are also some files in other places, like:
    texk/web2c/man/omega.man
    texmf/dvips/config/omega.map

Will TeXLive keep these?

I completely agree with you, specially since Omega is TeXLive oriented.

Sure. The only things I have against Perforce is that I need to learn it,
and that our network people have not yet agreed to give me access to port
1666!

This place is very dark. Anyone with a spare torch (and a hand)?

That also makes me wonder.
