This would both be ok for me.
However, having kernel add-on and modules like filesystem
and bus managers inside current/src/add-ons/kernel/
and userland add-on like for the printer in current/src/add-ons/
it makes most sense to also put all kernel drivers into
/current/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/ and creating nice subdirectorys
to discrimainate the various types (like net, audio, input). The compiled
files can then be put in /boot/beos/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin
where they belong and are expected :)
Next step would be to remove
current/src/kernel/add-ons
current/src/kernel/drivers
after migrating their content into the correct place.
We should place a reminder file like DONT_USE_THIS_DIRECTORY
into them until this is done.
Hopeing that things are more clear now.
If this is not correct, please correct me :-)
