:  - move the source code for the syscons modules (sys/modules/splash

Sounds good.

:  - move sys/modules/splash into sys/modules/syscons

Ditto.

:  - 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.)

Why bother?  This just breaks people's override lists.

:  - gather all vfs modules into sys/modules/fs (pseudofs and linprocfs
:    are already there, procfs will be there shortly)

Why bother?  This just breaks people's override lists.

:  - gather all storage-related modules (RAID and SCSI controller
:    drivers, CAM, ccd, vinum etc.) into sys/modules/storage

too artificial, imho.

:  - gather all image activators and ABI compatibility modules into
:    sys/modules/compat

Why bother?  This just breaks people's override lists.
 
:  - gather all the USB drivers into sys/modules/usb

Why bother?  This just breaks people's override lists.

:  - put whatever's left into sys/modules/misc

Why bother?  This just breaks people's override lists.
 
: 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.

I'd agree with the source move, but let's leave well enough alone
until Peter does the build stuff.
