Fair enough. Stefan PS: The directory structure doesn't have to have anything to do with a user-visible taxonomy. The main constraints it has are: - each directory should be large enough to justify its existence (typically the threshold is considered to be "more than 20 .el files"). - large packages should have their own directory. - try to use directories so as to avoid having everything right under lisp/ (in case the filesystem doesn't handle large directories efficiently, or because we don't like the appearance of lack of organization). We could also just use a subdirectory "a" for packages whose name starts with "a", for all I care.
