As a mere Emacs user, I totally agree. A feature of the present directory
structure I most appreciate is the fact that I can (and do) install
simultaneously several versions of Emacs. It always amazes me that I can
use them concurrently without any issues. I wouldn't want to lose that
functionality. My two-cent's worth.
