Actually, with FreeBSD moving to more and more arch's, is there any interest in rearranging the sys tree into something more like {Net,Open}BSD with a sys/arch directory? This would be pretty painful to do and probably take a _lot_ of repo surgery, but it might be something useful in the long run. And it doesn't hurt to stay closer to the other BSD's.
