I think it is coherent enough. Any categorization is likely to be fuzzy at the boundaries--that doesn't mean the basic idea is incoherent. For example, textmodes/ leaves out allout.el and foldout.el even if it has outline.el. Perhaps these files are in the wrong place. But I am not sure they are in the wrong place. outline.el is intended specificlally for text, but I think allout and foldout are not specifically for text. I think I have seen foldout used in Lisp programs. emacs-lisp/ doesn't seem too coherent either. It is less well defined than the others, but these all have a relationship to supporting Emacs Lisp. What you have pointed at is that there are different kinds of support. It could be that some other files belong in emacs-lisp which are not there. Perhaps subr.el. Any others?
