Are there any statistics on that?
The US/* names are one thing, but what about the nonsense like "W-SU"?
The random selection of places that get top-level entries for no readily
apparent reason?
If there's actual usage justification for keeping US/* specifically in
backward, or making it its own compatibility file, I have no particular
objection, but it doesn't justify not clearing up the rest of the mess.
