See my previous response.

It's your repository you can do whatever you want with it. However, if 
you remove the Attic sub-directory you will *never* be able to reproduce 
the state of your hierarchy from the point in the past where the files 
in the Attic existed. IE, if you remove a file today and then remove the 
Attic sub-directory, tomorrow you will *not* be able to check out the 
files from yesterday, since it is no longer in the repository. 
Essentially, as far as CVS is concerned the file never existed.
