A number of people have suggested that the directory layout of GEOM
sources should be changed.  The main complaint seems to be that sys/geom
contains both subdirectories (bde) and source files.

I personally don't particularly care about that, and as a matter
of fact wasn't even aware that was a rule, but if a significant
number of people think this is wrong I'm willing to repo-copy things
around and fix it, therefore this strawpoll:

Option 1:  No change

Option 2:
	sys/
		geom/
			infra/	
				geom_io.c
				geom_event.c
				...
			bsd/
				geom_bsd.c
			mbr/
				geom_mbr.c
			sunlabel/
				geom_sunlabel.c
			gbde/
				g_bde.c
				g_bde_crypt.c
				...
			...

Option 3:
	sys/
		geom/
			infra/
				geom_io.c
				geom_event.c
				...
			class/
				# contains methods implemented in a single
				# source file
				geom_bsd.c
				geom_mbr.c
				geom_sunlabel.c
				...
			gbde/
				# classes implemented in multiple source
				# files get a subdirectory of their own.

Straw votes in private email please...

I'll draw whatever concensus opinion I can from the emails I get,
and then I'll send the proposal to cvs@ who may at that time shoot
it down as unnecessary repo-bloat.

PS: I'm not inclined to entertain a long bikeshed on this issue,
on the more general topic of source tree re-layout and the need for
a democratic process for determing the location of all future files
in our cvs repo.
