Yes he did.  Talk to various committers and you'll see that many have
ideas where files should live.  There have been long threads on this
issue that got nowhere.  The reason things are in such a messy state is
when something new is brought in, or is changed suffiently much for a
repo copy the person take the chance to put the files where *they* think
they should live.  Vs. where there would be consistency in the /sys tree.
