I agree with that. I think this change may well cause more work than it saves, particularly with merges. (I really don't like the idea of putting all .h files into include/ .) It seems to me that this is to do with a preference for narrow, deep hierarchies over shallow, wide ones. I'm not at all sure that from an objective point of view it'll make gcc easier to maintain. I'm not at all opposed to some reorganization where it really makes sense to do so. Putting all of c-common.* into gcc/c is a fine idea. Andrew.
