[vim/vim] Directory Organization Changes (PR #12335)
CadmusBashLog
Directory over time may provide a better user experience for those new to Vim or those returning users on an unfamiliar workstation. Changes may cause potential conflicts and should be addressed as such in the future. This change keeps things simple in places, rather than too simple in not enough places.

Thanks for closing. Having a "README" directory causes problems in various places expecting a README file.
The CI config files must be in the root, AFAIK.
Other changes might be OK if the tools using them would also be changed. But is it an improvement?

brammool Thank you for the clarity and guidance because I'll take this forward with other future software. Your response means more to me than you may know. The point I am understanding is that changes in general may be nice, but just because it is a change with some benefit, it does not mean that it is needed.

and targets a wide range of platforms. If you start a new project you
may choose a different layout, since you don't have to worry about what
users expect from previous versions.
A lot is personal preference though. I like just typing "make" to
build something. Others use more sophisticated tools, but that usually
requires reading the installation guide to figure out what dependencies
to install, what tools to run in what sequence, etc. For example, cmake
can be used instead of make. You get powerful features, but with that
comes complexity and a limited set of platforms that are supported.
