The structure of the Emacs lisp/ directory is well-thought and exists
for many years with only minor changes. It has some underlying logic,
which allows one in most cases to know where a certain package lives.
This is important not just for grepping, but also for visiting the
files and any operation that requires its full file name. Having some
files outside of this structure will make working with those files
more annoying.
