Questions we ought to be able to answer

This afternoon I accidentally hit the Send button before I was ready.
So here are yet more questions I/we ought to be able to answer:
7. PASM is Parrot's assembly language. In our repository there are 36
'.pasm' files, but of these all but two --
./runtime/parrot/include/fp_equality.pasm and ./src/dynpmc/main.pasm --
are found under t/ or examples/. Why do we have so few .pasm files in
the source code?
8. What are the purposes of the top-level directories in the Parrot
distribution? Would they each benefit from short READMEs explaining that?
9. In an installed Parrot, we install 93 '.dump' files underneath
./src/parrot/. These are Perl 5 Storable files:
$ file src/parrot/3.5.0-devel/pmc/sockaddr.dump
src/parrot/3.5.0-devel/pmc/sockaddr.dump: perl Storable (v0.7) data
(major 2) (minor 8)
Why do they get installed?
Answers? Your questions?
Thank you very much.
