linux-2.6 formatting is the accumulation of ten years worth of hand
editing. The Linux kernel people have made numerous complaints about
this since it does not follow the Linux kernel formatting standards.
linux-core has be run through a program to make it match the Linux
kernel standards.

What I would like to see happen:
linux-core ==> into the Linux kernel
linux-2.6 ==> dead
linux ==> 2.4 support, development stops
bsd ==> dead
bsd-core ==> bsd picks up linux-core changes

Active directories would then be linux-core, bsd-core, shared-core.
Once we get to that stage we might be able to rename things.

You probably have to do everything twice anyway because the removal of
the DRM() macros in linux-core altered a lot of code. Switching to the
core model also caused a bunch of file renames.
