Well, if it is broken and a user will need it, yes (when I looked at the first message, this appeared to be the case). As to how to fix it, I'll leave that to someone else's decision, but I'd suggest the method that is least likely to break and cause further problems (i.e. a complete rewrite may result in bugs that don't show up until after release, but we may be able to change it with a simple search and replace of the offending directory names).
