The lisp directory structure is, to my mind, pretty confused. We have
"emacs-lisp", but one of emacs-lisp's more distinctive features, custom,
is not in it. Likewise, tree-widget. We have "emacs-lisp", "progmodes"
and so on which are defined after function, and "obsolete" which is
defined after status. We have "text-modes" and "org". We have "mail" and
"gnus" (although some of gnus is in net). Likewise mh. Likewise
international, language and leim.
Still, I agree that changing things is always a pain.
