There are a huge number of shared directories there. Ok, I'll rm it. The design and hook it into the Makefiles is just too much. *sigh* we have just simply grown too big with too many variant ideas to accomplish much these days. My dislike of Jake's "sparc64" is what does that mean? sys/sparc64? If I make a change to sys/sparc64/include/ansi.h I should get his review first? Or does "sparc64" also include /sys/dev/.... that are mostly seen on the Sparcs? Does that also include lib/libc/sparc64? Does that include *any* change motivated by the sparc64 platform such as a endian problem in a usr.bin program? We all already know Jake is the primary driver behind the platform. src/MAINTAINERS is becoming more a "prove you exist" list; then what I wanted it to be; which is a central place for committers who feel strongly about how people commit to a particular subsystem to voice their opinion.
