Uh, because it's still top secret ;-)
And furthermore, there is almost no documentation about it; but that'll 
change over time.

Right, because, as I said, I don't think it makes sense in the source 
repository, to add those artificial directories. The differentiation in 
types makes much more sense to me.

I must admit that I've never actually used an IDE. I always found them 
hard to use :-)
It take too much time to get used to it with too little benefit. But I 
like good editors, which are the center of a good IDE anyway.
But I would want an IDE that's as inconspicuous as possible allowing me 
to use make or jam directly - well, like a good editor :)

Adios...
