I still do not really understand why we shall introduce such a new
layout, especially in the release Emacs tarballs published on
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/, and even more after installing them.

As an example, if I do ./configure --prefix=/usr/local followed by make
and make install today, I'll end up with a directory layout of org-mode
related files like this:

/usr/local/share/info/org.info.gz
/usr/local/share/emacs/26.0.50/etc/ORG-NEWS
/usr/local/share/emacs/26.0.50/etc/org/README
/usr/local/share/emacs/26.0.50/etc/org/.*\.xml
/usr/local/share/emacs/26.0.50/etc/refcards/orgcard.tex
/usr/local/share/emacs/26.0.50/lisp/org/.*\.(el\.gz|elc)

Unless I'm misundarstanding you, using your approach, all files will end
up in /usr/local/share/emacs/26.0.50/lisp/org (using the example
configuration I gave above).

Do you really want to give up this standard file structure?

Alain
