This isn't a vote.
Or, to put it another way, merely expressing your preference is
pointless. If you have some new argument in favour of either approach
please tell us, otherwise don't say anything.

/usr/src/linux.

This paragraph tells me one of three things:
1. You weren't thinking clearly when you wrote it;
or 2. You are having difficulty expressing yourself in English;
or 3. You are lacking knowledge vital to understand the discussion.
Unfortunately it doesn't tell me anything about the issue at hand,
because it appears to be a reply to something other than the scheme I
was proposing or a (perhaps erroneous) solution to a different
problem.
