Speaking of sysorg, sys/modules is a bleeding mess. I'd love to see at least the following done: - move the source code for the syscons modules (sys/modules/splash and sys/modules/syscons/*) out of the modules directory and into sys/dev/syscons or some other appropriate location - move sys/modules/splash into sys/modules/syscons - gather all network interface modules (including if_ppp, if_tun etc. and miibus) into sys/modules/net, and rename them so they bear the same name as the modules (fxp -> if_fxp etc.) - gather all vfs modules into sys/modules/fs (pseudofs and linprocfs are already there, procfs will be there shortly) - gather all storage-related modules (RAID and SCSI controller drivers, CAM, ccd, vinum etc.) into sys/modules/storage - gather all image activators and ABI compatibility modules into sys/modules/compat - gather all the USB drivers into sys/modules/usb - put whatever's left into sys/modules/misc I know this means a lot of repo-copies, and it may not be worth the hassle if the new kernel & module build system materializes in the very near future, but at least some of this (the syscons module sources) needs to move no matter what.
