Excellent moment to do this overhaul. I would suggest keeping it even cleaner adding an /extra (or similar) directory to hold the gps, full history, users_agreed and other stuff that is either not planet data or is not published regularly. Also, maybe add a /changesets directory to hold the changesets-YYMMDD.osm.bz2 files. For the /planet/osm and /planet/pbf directories, I suggest one directory for each year (including current). And have a symlink to the most recent planet in the base directory. Lastly, from my narrow POV, we could do away with the XML full planet altogether. For smaller regions it makes sense, but if you want to process that much data you should not be looking at XML anyway.
