I like your idea. But, there's also another issue we should think about. The
Multimedia Wiki references a LOT of those files. If we change the current
directory 'structure', all those links will be broken.
We could either:
1.) Just change it and update the Wiki whenever we find a broken link, or
2.) keep the current file- and directorynames, but change them into symlinks
to new/all/* and put the new category directories under new/.
3.) Something else perhaps.
