Now, if you want to argue that nothing user-writable should be in
$PATH by
default, I can maybe see your point
For me, it's the intersection of the two -- the point that it's hidden
*and* user-writable *and* comes earlier in the path than the system
directories. Speaking only for myself, I could probably hold my nose and
be OK with any one of those things in isolation, but put them all together,
and it starts to smell funny.
