i get a headache looking at it.
it mixes so many different things?

  .../ca
  .../ca/stuff
  .../ca/chain
  .../ca/private
  .../ca/dB
  .../ca/p12
  .../ca/tmp
  .../ca/inbound
  .../ca/inbound/reqs
  .../ca/inbound/misc
  .../ca/outbound
  .../ca/outbound/crl
  .../ca/outbound/certs
  .../ca/outbound/mail
  .../ca/outbound/misc
  .../ca/outbound/ca
  .../ca/conf
  .../ca/conf/misc
  .../ca/conf/openssl
  .../ca/conf/openssl/extfiles
  .../ca/conf/openssl/openssl
  .../ca/conf/rbac
  .../ca/conf/rbac/modules
  .../ca/conf/rbac/operations
  .../ca/conf/rbac/rights
  .../ca/conf/rbac/roles
  .../ca/conf/rbac/scripts

the openssl config is the same everywhere? (actually being used on the
CA, just for reference elsewhere?)

what is "stuff"?
why is there a separate chain directory?
what is p12 for?

what parts of the structure are due to how openssl works (what files it
expects to find), what parts are our own additions?

i get confused everytime i look at it.

is anybody able to explain it to me?
i would like to restructure it so that people like me, who don't work on
openca every week, can understand it at a glance.

what for?
why not use them from one level up directly?
