Eh. It's just a little frustrating as I thought the goal of R1 was to be
as close to a BeOS compatible replacement as possible. Everytime legitimite
improvements such as moving to gcc4h images have been mentioned, the "we have
to stay true to BeOS" statement has been thrown in. Now we are completely
changing how all of the directories work, and are rapidely departing from
the original goal.
As an original BeOS user, it all just burns a bit.
Anyway, i'll stop complaining about this stuff as the direction of things
looks to have already been set in stone.
