OK. I had assumed that merging and separate maintenance would be the
reasons. No problem with that. This was only a final remark, not an
objection.

Err ... everything, even the ugly: Airports/K/S/F/KSFO.whatever.xml?
I *hate* that! So the "proposal" was a "take it or leave it"? With
no chance for fellow developers to ask for modifications? This is
ugly:
Airports/K/S/F/KSFA.parking.xml
/KSFA.twr.xml
/KSFA.threshold.xml
/KSFO.parking.xml
/KSFO.twr.xml
/KSFO.threshold.xml
/...
Isn't the KSFA prefix a pretty strong hint that this should be a
separate directory A?

Understandable, but then make proposals at a time where it's still
possible to change details. Otherwise just post it to
flightgear-announcements mailing list. (Yes, we have such a list,
or used to.) :-P

Huh? I don't see that in cvs: http://cvs.flightgear.org/viewvc/data/Airports/
I object to a solution with crappy directory layout.
