My opinions, FWIW:

(1)  A change like this should be done as a separate patch, so that
it doesn't make it harder to find substantive logical changes to
the code.  I recommend that you offer the improvements to
XADataSource without the source file relocation, and if you want to
convince people to reorganize the directory structure work on that
at a different time on a new thread.

(2)  I strongly prefer having a src directory below the top level.

(3)  I don't think anyone is advocating that each patch be allowed
to reorganize the directory structure; it's a question of which is
the best way to organize it long-term.
