Dunno, but kernel-parameters.txt was already quite long... for a file
that is referenced quite often. Adding admin-guide/ into the path does
not really help.

The big string name starts with Documentation/ :) There are some discussions 
about changing it to doc/ (or docs/). Also, as you said, kernel-parameters
is already a big name. Perhaps we could use, instead,

"kernel-parms".

cmdline?

You would not believe the number of users I've dealt with that have confused
"cmdline/command line" (aka prompt) with "kernel parameter".  I go back and edit
customer debug requests to make sure there's no use of cmdline in place of
kernel parameter.

For the love of every customer facing engineer out there, please stop using
cmdline ;).

If we rename kernel-parameters.rst to kernel-parms.rst, plus the doc/ rename,
then the string size will actually reduce:

-		(see Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt), the minimum possible
+		(see doc/admin-guide/kernel-parms.rst), the minimum possible

Maybe admin-guide should go directly into Documentation/ , as that's
what our users are interested in?

There are several problems if we keep them at Documentation/ dir:

- We'll end by mixing documents already converted to ReST with documents
  not converted yet;

- A rename is needed anyway, as Sphinx only accepts ReST files that end
  with the extension(s) defined at Documentation/conf.py (currently,
  .rst);

- A partial documentation build is made by sub-directory. If we put
  files under /Documentation, there's no way to build just one
  book.

Well, documentation is primarily for users. I'm sure tools can adapt...

Plus, I'm not sure how many developers will figure out that process/
is what describes kernel patch submission process. We have processes
in the kernel, after all...

Do you have a better idea?

development/ ?
