Another argument is that we plan to actually move all the dts files out of
the kernel into a separate project in the future. We really don't want to
have the churn of moving all the files now when they get deleted in one
of the next merge windows.

To be honest, I don't see that happening within the forseeable
future. Some of us maintainers like talking about this, but everyone who
actually develops have nightmares about this scenario. Nobody knows how
it'll be done without causing some real serious impact on productivity.

I don't know if we talked about whether that move should be done for
all architectures at the same time. If that is the plan, I think it
would be best to not move the MIPS files at all but also wait until
they can get removed from the kernel tree.

If MIPS can restructure now before things start growing, then I'd really
recommend that they do so and not hold off waiting on some event that
might never happen. 

Yes, I agree on both points.

Ok, fair enough.
