I agree with everything you said. However, none of it addresses the
situation I'm trying to identify. I'll try and simplify:

To download patches from the SVN book we use the URL:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/blfs/svn/patch_name

from the 6.1 book we use:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/downloads/6.1/patch_name

I think it is screwy to have some patches in:

.../patches/blfs

and others in

.../blfs/downloads/

My thinking is that for consistency the patches should be in:

.../patches/blfs/{svn,6.1,stable,whatever_else}
or
.../blfs/downloads/{svn,6.1,stable,whatever_else}

Not that it really matters, but why store everything all over
the place, when a consolidated area seems to be more, um,
organized?

Lastly, and to reiterate, this doesn't have anything to do with
automating. It has to do with organization.
