That is not a plan for "other layouts", but a plan for "the other layout that was mentioned as a possibility". As I said, both layouts are equally plausible, and I do not know if we need to plan for layouts other than these two, but we should consider if we want to add one new option every time we find a new layout we need to support, or we want a general framework that is more flexible and allows us to make the "borrow from the $GIT_DIR/modules/ of the repository the superproject borrows from" a mere special case of it.

Thanks.
