So this seems certain to collide badly with Mauro's RST-conversion monster patch set. More to the point, though...if we are going to thrash up things this badly, we want to be sure that we're doing it right so we don't end up renaming everything again. Grouping stuff into a new arch/ subdirectory adds a bit of order, but it doesn't do much toward trying to organize our documentation for its readers, and it doesn't help us to modernize the docs and get rid of the old, useless stuff. A quick check shows that many of these files have seen no changes other than typo fixes since the beginning of the Git era. So, in my mind, this needs some thought. Maybe we want a Documentation/arch in the end, but I'm not convinced that we should just create it and fill it with a snow shovel. This might be a good thing to discuss at the kernel summit in September. Thanks, jon
