[vote] Change in block file-system layout

As emerged with the discussion on Merlin Blocks vs. Cocoon Blocks, it 
has been asked that we avoid collission by moving our "proprietary" 
information on a different location.

So, as Berin suggested, vote on the proposed change:

  /BLOCK-INF/ -> /COB-INF/

/COCOON-INF/ was proposed but I like /COB-INF/ more since that 
directory doesn't really contain information about cocoon but 
information about the cocoon block, thus "COB".

Hopefully that will not conflict with some COBOL information directory.

You're sooo sarcastic!

I am +1 because I agree we need to get going and there's not a clear 
symbiosis at this time.

I am however concerned that we're closing the door to a future utopia of 
interoperability both at the community level and the technical level. 
The technical can be addressed later as needs and solutions solidify. 
The community issues should be addressed now before they solidify.

+1.  Without the microsoft CLI, it is fairly safe to assume that COBOL
or COBOL.NET would not be a thread here.

While we are at it, there are acronyms too:

I'd like this done by COB ;P

I like the verb actually. Much more than one of the obsolete meanings ;-))

Just for cosmetic:

What about ACB-INF? or CB-INF?

ACB means "Apache Cocon Block".
