This is a truly *wonderful* idea, but it doesn't go nearly far enough.
Let's require EVERYONE to prefix *all* of their files with their initials,
or a short abbreviation of the relevant software package, or with their
company name.  Then we could get rid of all those obnoxious directories.
Just think!  Never again will you wonder which directory you left a file in!
And 'find' could be subsumed by 'ls' -- no more wierd syntax to remember.

[That's :-), in case you can't figure it out.]
