I'd be all for it, but the SGI people like this layout to keep a common fs/xfs for both 2.4 and 2.6 (with linux-2.4 and linux-2.6 subdirs respectively)
p.s. and no, I'm not official xfs maintainer and never have been, so cc set to linux-xfs were all interested parties hang around. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
