Actually, I think you're right. I don't think it matters to the kernel what the directory structure is because the kernel is concerned with more lower-level things like memory management.

Reorganizing the file system like this would have been a good change to implement for v3.0 of the kernel.

If you are an existing Delicious user and want to keep your bookmarks, you must visit the Delicious website and agree to AVOS's terms of service before July (you should have gotten an email telling you about this).

What if it is a conspiracy, but a different one. We as human beings need an Other to focus our attention on, otherwise we tear ourselves apart.
