As a new user I'm hesitant to barge in like this, but I feel strongly on
this issue. I have to say that the new configuration, with it's
staggering number of subdirectories, is TERRIBLE to use. I don't
understand what drove the decision to go this way ... there is an
enormous value in being able to see all the configuration information in
ONE place, at ONE time, and a real cost to not being able to do so.
