No. This is completely counterintuitive and breaks all conventions around SVN.

It's the cruft that sits around them that needs to go. It's making it really difficult for newcomers to understand what the heck to checkout. I'll also put together a brief README.txt that simply explains the purpose of each root-level directory.

No. These need to remain separate, they have different release cycles and thus different trunk, branch, tag.
