Yes, examples of the same thing. drivers/base still sort of fits, but yes.

Would the maintenance be really helped? As you said in another reply, 
the external tree already shuffles Documentation/sound/alsa and 
include/sound around anyway.

I don't feel very strongly about it or anything but it's also a kernel 
statistics issue. Linus for example frequently announces new -rc's with 
"90% is in drivers" and such and if large(r) parts of drivers/ consist 
not of driver code that's a less useful metric.


I'd expect that if you give up your nice top level directory you're not 
getting it back later... :-)
