My thinking is: for the same reason that drivers/tty is not in the root. I've been pushing for some time to get our documentation organized for the readers, which means arranging things in terms of the expected audience. Much of what's in Documentation/tty looks like driver-api stuff, so that's where I would like it to be. If you have material for other audiences, perhaps that material should go into a different book. When I started doing this, "ls Documentation" would scroll on for many pages. We've been slowly moving away from that directory as an unorganized dumping ground, but there is still a ways to go. Thanks, jon
