We could also do another thing :

1) keep the layout as it is now and upgrade completely to 2.4.x as was
posited by you -Ryan- in a previous post.

2) work on a longterm project where we gradually find every port that
assumes the current layout and convert them

3) after testing (2) make a _BIG_ _BANG_ upgrading from the present
layout to a layout that doesn't violate mtree

I find it of more value to get 2.4.x into the tree than to wait any
longer for a new layour which we don't have any time frame for. We are
already a couple of months late in releasing 2.4.x to the public.
