    Ah. :-(  I understand this reason, but this will be spreading the poorly
organized format of GENERIC into the better organized format of the NOTES
files.  Not something I think is a good idea and I won't proceed if that's
the general consensus...
    I do think that re-organizing GENERIC before 5-CURRENT becomes 5-STABLE
would be a long-term good thing and I'd be willing to donate my time toward
doing.
