I don't think you can just move the files --- that will break future
builds of the back branches (unless you intend to make the rearrangement
retroactive).

I agree with Peter's point anyway: the main value of classifying these
things is for documentation, and just structuring the top-level README
that way would be sufficient.  Physically changing the hierarchy is just
much more work than it's worth.
