guys this is not a flame war
but the linux way in arranging the source file is really better
than freebsd way, it's a fact.
however it's easy to rearrange it in 1 min as someone said before.
but i mean this step should be done from the core team.
for example all fs has to go in a subdir called fs
arch specific file should go in subdir called arch/(arch name)
and so on .
One thing to watch out for is the mess this would cause in the CVS
repository. CVS does not track "file moves", so if we move a lot
of things around then we just end up with them in *both* the old
and the new locations. I certainly believe the tree could be
organized better than it is, but the benefits from reorganizing are
just not worth the time and effort it would take (*), and the mess
it would make out of the CVS repository.
(* - 99% of the time and effort would be in getting everyone
to *agree* on the best layout...)
