While we're here... I think it is weird that the testing files for the
latest kernel are in testing/ directly, while the older ones have their
own subdirectory. I have a script which is greatly confused by this,
and I can imagine that other tools (for example ketchup) appreciate
this inconsistency moderately too. It is probably not ideal for mirrors
either... I don't know if the mirroring system is smart enough to deal
with file moves? If not then it generates useless traffic.

So I would like to propose that testing files are placed directly in
their final location. This would be both more consistent and easier
for everyone.

Thanks,
