I noticed that cd9660 file system is in sys/isofs/cd9660 instead of what
seems more logical: sys/fs/cd9660. Is there any reason not to move it?
Curious mostly..

Inertia, mostly. And if you move cd9660, do you also move ufs? Let the
bi-yearly debate begin.....

Btw, this is a topic that is easily searched on, as it gets brought up
fairly regularly. We were a bit late on the schedule this time, though,
so thanks for giving it a kickstart.


We've actually moved most of the filesystems into sys/fs in the past.
Only
cd9660, nfs, and ufs are in the top-level. I'd still say leave nfs and
ufs
alone, but sys/isofs/cd9660 -> sys/fs/cd9660 (I wouldn't keep the extra
isofs
directory) probably wouldn't be but so painful at this point.


What about moving all of the net* directories into /sys/net?. And
don't forget putting i386 and friends into /sys/arch! Ah, I love the
smell of fresh paint in the morning. Smells like.... napalm.

Baby steps aren't hard. :) Back when I first made rumblings about this sort
of thing we didn't have a sys/fs at all, but now we do and over time we've
actually moved most of our filesystems into it. :)
