Yes, sometimes it can be confusing ;)

 From earlier discussions I understood that Jean-Christophe doesn't like

board/omap3/

I'm not totally sure what he actually wants, but I think something like

board/ti/omap3
board/ti/omap2
board/ti/omap1
board/ti/davinci

etc. (e.g. like board/atmel).

While I don't care what we use, like with other discussions we should 
do it consistent. That is, having already x boards in omap3 and now 
adding the next board somewhere else isn't ok. As long as we don't 
have the new directory layout, new boards should use the old one. If 
we want an other directory layout, we should *first* move all existing 
boards to the other directory (ideally doing this directly in git). 
*Then* new patches can and have to use this new layout.

Conclusion: Until we don't have an other directory layout, I'm fine 
with board/omap3/devkit8000

Best regards
