I disagree. Having aranym.xfs, nfstderr.xdd, nfetch.xif etc in 040 directory would annoy me pretty much, it prolongs boot time. But you're right with the 030 case, it applies to me as well -- I've got the SCSI-Link network card in my TT and EtherNEC in my Falcon. Now I have to have them in the same dir... Despite this I think the current structure (000/030/040/060/mil/ara) is fine and it reflects reality of most setups. So even with unified kernels (030 = Falcon/TT/CT2, 040 = aranym/hades/milan/ab040, 060 = ct60/milan/hades) I'd like to have separate machine directories at least for aranym and milan, as these are really special hardware and most probably require modules not usable anywhere else.
