Certainly. So much that I can't even imagine why anybody would consider
that TRT (although I do try, and will appreciate if you try to explain).

Hm, it seems the misunderstanding is mutual.
Whether some version is more up-to-date or useful (whatever that means)
is besides the point. What I meant by "most relevant for the running
executable" and "obvious" above was simply what seems to me a case of
the principle of least surprise: if I run /usr/bin/emacs, I expect it to
use the same PREFIX for other things, i.e. /usr/share/emacs.... If I run
/usr/local/bin/emacs, I expect it to use /usr/local/share/emacs.... And
if I run src/emacs, I expect it to use the source tree.
Does that really seem less reasonable than your "TRT"?
I can imagine the current behaviour being hard to change, but that still
wouldn't make it the right thing IMO.
