I actually prefer them being with their first user. That way, if patches
get dropped or moved, nothing can be in the wrong order or unnecessary.

They're already out of order because Quark is a weirdo and we didn't
want to look at it all the time so it got stuck at the bottom. It's
_fine_ when it's 99% family 6 plus 2 other weirdos.

But it should probably get sorted at some point because it's going to be
hard to find Quark and P4 if the order is

	fam 6,1
	fam 5
	fam 15
	fam 18
	fam 19
	fam 20
	...

But I think all that has to be done is to move Quark up to the top.
