Yes.  I wasn't planning on moving them.  But not all the pci network
drivers break this rule.  vx, at the minimum, follows the new
guidelines.  The "common sense rider" on this rule has been don't move 
anything just to move it.  Move it when it makes sense to move it.
Many drivers have been moved out of isa/* or i386/isa/* to this new
location when they grow another bus attachment (usually for pccard).
