"Recently, however, kernel folks realized that one of the SysFS
directories had been put in the wrong place: /sys/block, it was felt,
should really have been /sys/class/block instead. Too late! A great
mass of user code already had come to rely on the existing directory
location. Greg Kroah-Hartman reluctantly had to admit that the SysFS
inconsistency could not be repaired. The first spot of age has appeared
on the pristine face of SysFS."

Are they putting words into your mouth? :)

A couple of threads on LKML they might be referring to:
