I'm fine with the idea, but it looks like a couple of tweaks are needed, in particular to avoid leaving behind dangling references in Documentation/Makefile that cause build errors. I think the individual patches probably need a wider CC list as well. I'd use the get_maintainer script (or git) to see who has taken an interest in the individual tests and make sure they are aware of the move. Thanks, jon
