In reply to Ipstenu (Mika Epstein).

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a "Libraries & Frameworks" or "Developer Tools" or "somesuch" directory running alongside? Plus suitable user warning/advisory notices, of course.

That way we can move forward without excluding anyone's necessary toolset.

I'm kinda thinking, the Founding Fathers (and mothers) ~ god bless'em ~ called them "Plugin" and "Theme" directories for a reason.
