I was waiting for you to ask that.
We have alot of bios revs that we flash over the network by selecting them
from a menu. They are organized like this:

        Arch
         ->Vendor
           -> Motherboard
             -> bios rev

We have more than 24 motherboards for some vendors, and more than 24
bios revs on some of them. Aesthetically I like to have the bios revs
all in one list.

I guess we could do something like:
        Arch
         ->Vendor
	  ->A-M
          ->N-Z
            -> Motherboard
             ->A-M
             ->N-Z
               -> bios rev
                 ->A-M
                 ->N-Z

Which is now possible thanks to you.

So, it's not a real important thing, just aesthetics.
