Do you have an estimate on how long until the 1st one can be deleted?

The main benefit that I see is making it easier to clone or compare boards.
You just duplicate/diff everything in the board directory and rename files to taste.

My goal for this series is NOT to force everyone to update their board, but rather to allow new
boards to have all their board specific files in one directory.
