This tempts me to seize the moment, abandon the legacy organization, and reorganize in a more logical manner.

If we do restructure, I would probably do most of the work after we were feature complete and until them, only make incremental changes that make sense that the context of new feature work. But it would be helpful to decide soon which path we are going to take.

We already have massive changes changes and the algorithm and algorithm set level that will impact test232, so I'm not sure that the higher level reorg that I'm thinking about would have that much more impact on it.
