True, but Thomas has done the work here already, so I don't think we lose anything by merging it rather than throwing it away. (My gut feeling here is "meh", but that was also how I felt about Paolo's rearrangement of everything into subdirectories of hw/, and in hindsight that was clearly the right thing. So I'm assuming my gut is wrong here too.) thanks -- PMM
