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. 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. 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 ?
