Right. We can see I had a couple in the list where I had put "mash".
any is a far better choice. =)

Separating by subdirectories probably makes sense for the number of
patches we carry. I remember this was part of why you suggested quilt
before.
Breaking it down this way might make it clearer when giving write access
to porters, too.
Although when you're in the situation that RMS is telling you that
you're being too ideological about freedom, maybe, just maybe, it's
true.
