Fully seconded.  Even though it clearly wasn't a brilliant idea to
criticize FreeBSD source code organization without giving a single
reason or example, Mohamed clearly didn't deserve to be flamed like
this.  A bit more diplomacy wouldn't hurt here...

Now responding to Mohamed, I'm really surprised to see you writing this.
I've banged my head against the wall so many times to locate some piece
of source code in the Linux kernel that I really cannot understand you.
For the most part, I find the FreeBSD source organization simply great.
There are many criticisms one can legitimally do against FreeBSD, but
that one sounds just wrong.

Cheers,
Maxime
