I agree with Stephen that this will generate a lot of confusion and....
First, I think we need to keep the documentation in /Documentation/networking.
Second, the changes are extensive and would create a lot of regression testing.
We have been looking at solutions like this for future
drivers/hardware and is on the list of items we are currently working
on, but feel it should not be made retroactively due to the regression
testing and massive changes that would need to be made.
