patterns, fonts and macros are different things; either we treat all things
as equal and put them all under tex, or we organize them according to their
function and content; i'll explain this in more detail when we meet again;
it does not hurt tex now, and it make no sense to keep reorganizing the
tree, but in tex-descendants things may/will be different, but then there
will be maybe another tree altogether
concerning patterns, just look at the content, filenames and locations ...
it's a bit of a mess; for instance, they are encoding dependent but do you
see any relation between filenames and encodings (only ru and uk); there
are old ane new versions, but no date of introduction; some are
multi-encoding ones, they use their own private set of macros, some names
have two char, some three char language codes, i see something bahyph.sh
there (i wonder where that will end up under texmf/scripts (which subpath:
generic, hyphen, language, enc ?)); btw, the names of files have improved
over time; it is in itself interesting that the area that tex is strong in
(hyphenation) is organized this way -)
