I agree with Mike.

To me, it sounds like this proposed shuffling around is only trying to
solve a UI "problem". IMO it doesn't make sense to actually move the *.c
files around, does anyone agree with this?

Would it be easier to just have one central Config.in where we can
change the order of menuconfig at will? This would solve the whole
"move this applet in menuconfig there or there" but would still retain
an intuitive (well, for me at least) assignment from applets to their
known (upstream-)packages in the filesystem.
