Yes, I know that your argument is "putting stuff under /home is bad".
My question was, and I'll repeat it: "Where would you suggest?"
So far, no one has made a constructive suggestion. I'd say that that
might be because there isn't a good default outside of /home. If we
take that as correct, then we have two choices: continue the current
behavior, or fail and abort with an error. I'd suggest the latter
behavior is even less friendly.
Cheers,
