Yep, and since there are (unfinished) ports to MMU-less variants of machines that are already supported by normal Linux, some more uClinux support may appear in `normal' arch subdirectories in the future. E.g. MMU-less Atari and Amiga (and Mac, anyone working on that?) are better off with the platform support in arch/m68k/ than the one in arch/m68knommu/.
