But wouldn't you need something similar if you got rid of the version number
directory?  If /usr/src is upgraded to 5.006 and you've got 5.005 installed,
you should probably be getting rid of the old 5.005 stuff anyways...and the
5.006 Makefile isn't likely to know specifically which files are old and
which are new...end result - intermixed old & new stuff in the same directory.
At least with the version directories, you can completely get rid of the old
version-specific stuff.  I think...maybe...unless I missed the point
somewhere...:-))
