Talking to "various committers" will only yield various opinions and
end up leading nowhere, however.  Perhaps if someone were to take
it upon themselves to post a detailed proposal of where things should
be moved to, others could at least comment more authoritatively
(and substantially) on the topic rather than just engaging in more
vague hand-waving.
