Win32 would remain the dominant subsystem. I am not against Win32, that shuold be clear. I simply want to make the tree cleaner (the core in a module, a subsystem a module etsim.).
The one thing that distinguishes ReactOS from other open source operating systems is its application support. There is no other open source OS with the number of applications available (potentially :-)) as ReactOS. Take out Win32 and what you're left with is an OS which can only run native apps, bringing it down (in terms of application support) to the realms of BeOS and SkyOS.
You overread my words, it seems. I definitely need one more class of English language: Alex, again, says I want μSessions in CSR, which I twice said I dislike. This means I can't speak English. Period.
I have no problems with a reorganization which would make Win32 a separate entity in the repository, but I do feel rather strongly that the default build (and install) should include Win32.
That is exactly what "dominant subsystem" means.
I'm not sure I like the idea of moving it to /trunk level. I thought beginning this year concensus was reached on http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/New_Tree_Structure ?
Sorry. I saw the discussion stop and never reopened that page. I assumed (wrongly) that no consensus was reached about that subject. And never read the comments by Alex, with whom I mostly disagree.

Really sorry for the noise.
