No. My proposal is to put a SRPM directory at the same level of each 
$basearch directory.

This arrangement allows the SRPMS of each distribution to be at the same 
level as the binaries.  I also believe that it is a good thing that it 
matches the current Fedora Core development tree mirror structure.  They 
designed well that way, with far more contributors than legacy-list in 
the mirror-list-d discussion.

The current location for SRPMS has no relative path relation to the 
binary locations.  Furthermore it lacks any precedent.

The above structure is the most logical if you intend on including all 
SRPMS, and mirror maintainers need to set exclusions for individual 
SRPMS directories.
