Oh, so because a lot of the programmers behind it receive wages, and the project itself won't commit ritual suicide by basically blocking the companies using FreeBSD from returning improvements they make to the project itself, it should be renamed.

Svein, A source layout change is the lest of the problems pushing code back from companies using FreeBSD. When $WORK rearranged our FreeBSD-based tree, we simply provided a perl script to run over patch files that fixed up the patch.

sed -e 's,sys/amd64,sys/arch/amd64,g' patchfile > newpatchfile

isn't that hard to do...

The fact that we totally rototilled the bge and em drivers FreeBSD 6.1->6.2 is a MUCH bigger problem to the commercial users of FreeBSD and their patch sets.

[medium seriousness bug fixes were done by a full MFC of the driver, vs. just spot fixing the needed changes]
