Please don't hide the instructions.  We already have enough problems
from people following random web pages instead of the INSTALL* files.
I feel they should remain in the top directory.

Lots of other stuff might make sense to move around, but INSTALL*,
README, COPYING*, NEWS and Changelog should remain on the top,
as in the GNU Coding Standards for releases:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Releases.html#Releases

Tidying up cronjobs like rebuild_zebra for 3.6 seems like a good idea,
especially if the new zebraqueue daemon isn't ready.

Hope that helps,
