You misunderstand.  I'm concerned about this change because I'm afraid it's
hairy enough to make tla buggier and hard to maintain, and I don't think the
arguments for it are very persuasive if that is true.

OTOH, if it's not as bad as it appears, then whatever, make your own
directories look like you please.

[I would be against changing the default though, at least based on the
rather flimsy basis presented ("none of my friends like {arch}!").]

Anyway, it's Tom's choice.  If he judges this change is safe enough,
then it probably is.
