I guess I think the current split with board/base/{linaro|android} is about right. At least if the common bits have a permanent home in a git repo, then we have a single place to apply system wide changes and the git log can explain the history of configs change.
On third thoughts ;-) it seems a lot nicer if topics which introduce a feature can contain a fragment to enable that feature, rather than have to base all topics branches on top of a config topic branch just so they can patch the config.
... which is what we have been doing for a year or so.
But the patches on the defconfig for particular features related to the topic live in the topic branch implementing the features; we haven't found they need any directory structure just operate direct on the defconfig.
If you want to do it with this complex directory scheme, please don't so anything to the definitive sources that makes it mandatory.
