Yes indeed.  When I read what was going to be done, my first thought 
was, "Dear Ghod in Heaven, *why?*"  By the time I reached the bottom of 
the page it all made sense.  One question, though: will there be a way 
to recover the disk space used by the now-redundant directories?  I know 
that with modern disks the amount lost is probably trivial, but I go 
back to the days when a 40MB drive was *huge,* and I still don't like 
wasting space for no good reason.  Besides, it's untidy.
