That isn't how the rest of the JDK is organised.
Platform specific classes are split where you have "share" in the path 
above.
So whilst the other issues are more arguable I don't think the build team
would like platform specific classes under share. There is already an
objection to that for the native files.

To the "too many files in one package/directory" point.
I think that might happen at the directory level if Andy went through with
his suggestion but I don't think it will happen with what I proposed and
we probably should get some benefit from being able to make classes + 
methods
package private.

So I think what I proposed is about right ..
