Given that clusters occasionally get split, I'm not sure cluster is the
right splitting criterion - it just cements the current layout in place.

If the problem being solved is just to make the github home page pretty,
just moving the current root contents into a src/ directory would do the
job.

The reason everything is flat was that we tried a hierarchical layout way
back, and the practical consequence was that new developers had to
constantly ask where things were. Many things straddle the line between
general infrastructure and cluster specific stuff. Take, for example,
simple.project.templates - it lets you define a project template with a
properties file. It has friends that use it. It has nothing to do with
javacard, but is part of the javacard cluster by accident of what first
used it.

Will someone who could benefit from it ever find it there?

In short, clusters are arbitrary. Something more function-related would be
more useful. Or just move it all down one folder and github will be pretty
and maybe that's enough.

-1 from me.
