Nah... Authors(TM) are well aware of the arguments from previous
discussions. AFAIR switch from flat SPECS/SOURCES to package-per-dir was
agreed on (with some kind of server side symlinked SPECS). The rest was
a flame fest, all previous discussions ended in a flame fest, and a VCS war.

Yes, transition was not prepared perfectly, if we stared preparing
we wouldn't do it. Again.

Sorry for the inconviences we caused, but that was the only way to clean
up cesspool that SOURCES became. And it is IMO more effective to do
something and then squash the bugs than neverending planning.
