I see what you mean, but it's no more overloaded than the jdk/src dir 
used to be. Also, the bsd, linux, solaris, demo and sample directories 
are all going away at some point in the (hopefully near) future. Left 
are hotspot and utils which I don't think warrant another directory level.

Yes, please try it. I have put a lot of work into maintaining a set of 
patches and scripts to keep the generated consolidated repo working and 
(near) equivalent with the current forest. You can review those changes 
in the prototype forest if you like.
