Maybe it was a mistake to assume that this discussion was over, but
there has not been any messages in the thread "Fwd: Reorganizing the cvs
repository before starting reactos.org" where someone argued against
this for two weeks. I would have provided some links to the list
archieve, but the sourceforge list archieve is screwed up.

I initally wanted to seperate subsystems to their own CVS modules and
have subsystems not depend on each other (ie. put the Win32 subsystem in
it's own module too just like all other subsystems). David then said
that Win32 was inseperable from the ReactOS kernel and that the Win32
subsystem should stay in the reactos module. I did not like the idea of
having modules marked win32 only in the required reactos module, so I
suggested that we make these "inseperable" Win32 modules native so they
don't belong to a specific subsystem and can thus optionally be used in
any subsystem that needs the functionality they provide. Then I was okay
with putting them in the reactos module. David agreed to this compomize
and nobody else has argued against this for about two weeks now.

So please present your arguments if you have some; so we can take vote
or something.
